Your safe space to resolve relationship issues

Relationships can be complex, and problems between couples can become deeply rooted over time. For many couples, it can feel challenging to talk openly about their relationship, or to find the time to invest in working through problems. Couples therapy is a great way to prioritise your relationship and focus on the issues that matter to you.

Our expert therapists facilitate a safe, private, neutral space for you to discuss any problems, listen to one another and move forward. It all starts with your first appointment. And our online booking service makes it easy. Get started today in less than five minutes.

What is couples therapy?

Relationship counselling is for any couple wanting to work through any issues, problems or challenges they’re facing. These issues include communication issues, affairs, sex and intimacy issues, infertility, parenting, lack of trust, anger, frustration or boredom. Whether your aim is to strengthen your relationship, or positively navigate a separation or divorce, we can help.

In couples counselling, both partners meet together with their qualified couples therapist. Sessions are managed in a way that allows both partners equal opportunity to share their feelings.

Let's get started

Let our expert therapists help you build a stronger relationship

How will couples therapy help us both?

Our couples counsellors are trained to help you get to the bottom of your relationship issues, together. They will not take sides, and will make sure you both have equal opportunity to talk. They will facilitate a calm space.

Your therapist is a professional and will be experienced working with couples, so you can feel free to discuss anything you need to, including sex and sexual issues. They won’t judge you or tell you what to do. They will listen, support and help you both feel better as you find a way forward.

Where do we start?

Couples therapists are trained to work with all kinds of relationships and relationship problems. They will know how to manage each session to help you both get the most out of your couples therapy appointments. Couples therapy is about good, honest communication.

Both partners will need to talk and both partners will need to listen. Your couples therapist will guide you both through the necessary discussions relevant to your relationship.

We will help you start to make sense of your relationship from the very first appointment.

Find your therapist

What happens at our first appointment?

Sessions last 50 minutes. At your first appointment, your therapist will ask you both some questions to find out more about your relationship, and will answer any queries you have. They may also work with you to clarify your goals for couples therapy.

Relationship counselling sessions are an opportunity for both of you to share whatever’s on your mind with your therapist and one another, in a private and confidential space. Couples therapy focuses on the health of your relationship. There is no agenda, no expectation and no judgement.

Couples therapy to bring you together

Relationship issues are personal and can feel hard to talk about. For some people, therapy can seem like an obvious solution; others are more hesitant and reluctant. Everyone’s different, and this is normal. Wherever you’re at, we can help.

Whatever the future holds for your relationship, couples counselling can help make sure you face it together.

Marriage counselling

Many of the couples we work with are married, and marriage brings its own pressures, from long shared histories and family expectations to rebuilding connection after years together.

Whether you are newly married or decades in, our therapists can help you understand each other, work through conflict and decide together how you want to move forward. You don’t need to be in crisis to come; marriage counselling is just as valuable for strengthening a relationship that’s working as it is for one that’s struggling.

See us online or in person

Our advice is that the best way to do relationship counselling is for both partners to meet with their therapist together, face to face. You can book to meet with your therapist in person at our private dedicated spaces in Oxford Circus, Bloomsbury or Brighton.

If you prefer therapy online, our therapists are experienced in providing online couples counselling. Whatever you decide, we’re here to help you.

We facilitate hundreds of couples therapy appointments every year.

What our clients say about us

We’re always grateful for kind words and reviews left by our many satisfied clients. Take a look at some of our reviews…

One Therapy was the best investment I ever made in myself. I didn’t realize how much I needed a space to talk through my issues until I was deep into the process. Life takes time to unfold, and healing takes time to process — you need to be in the right place to begin. I’m so grateful I took that step.

Mrs AP

Asma Gharbi is an exceptional therapist who brings clarity, compassion and real skill to her work. I am very grateful for her help and would highly recommend her.

Ms DC

I highly recommend it. Jackson’s service was exactly what I was looking for : approachable, empathetic, reliable and handled in a very professional manner. Excellent service from start to finish.

Mr ML

From the start, everything felt professional, welcoming, and genuinely caring. I always feel listened to and understood, and every session has helped me move forward in a meaningful way. I am truly grateful and I would highly recommend One Therapy London to anyone considering therapy.

Ms EL

One Therapy London has been incredibly helpful for me. The sessions feel supportive and practical, and I have noticed a real improvement in how I cope day to day. I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about starting therapy.

Overall a very positive experience. Tom was a very good listener, asked great questions, and helped me understand myself and my emotions better than I have ever done. Tom was also very easy to deal with and professional.

Mr MC

All I can say is that Annie was the best. My therapy sessions with her happen to be one of the best things I’ve done in the last few years. At times they were hard and at others they were breakthroughs. I have nothing bad to say. Just thanks.

Tom was a very good listener, asked great questions, and helped me understand myself and my emotions better than I have ever done. Tom was also very easy to deal with and professional.

Mr MC

My therapist was the best person I could ever have found. I had an extremely positive experience.

Ms VR

I approached One Therapy for short term counselling in May this year. I felt good about my therapist right from the beginning and the sessions with her were so useful. It helped me to resolve some issues in my career. I felt more confident to deal with the problems and stress at work. I would recommend One Therapy.

Ms HL

Kira is a true professional and a great asset to your practice. She showed me kindness with compassion.

I was attending sessions at One Therapy practice for about 1.5 years. I am very happy with the result, sessions there really helped me. I am really grateful to my therapist. Someone recommended him to me as a high professional and (the recommendation) proved right. Thank you.

Popular questions

Want to know more? Take a look at some of the most common questions people ask about therapy.

Every person will have their own, often mixed feelings coming to counselling. At your first session, your therapist will discuss with both of you about your hopes and fears, and hopefully help you start to get on the same page so that therapy feels like a positive choice for you both. Remember, there’s no obligation to continue past your first session, if it’s not going to work for you.

If, after your first session, one partner in a couple is adamant that they don’t want to engage at all, we’d recommend pausing couples therapy until you’re both in a place to benefit from the experience.

Ask yourselves, ‘Are the problems we’re having caused by how the two of us relate to one another?’ If the answer is yes, you would likely benefit from couples counselling. If the problems you’re facing stem from somewhere outside of your relationship, individual counselling may be better. If you’re still not sure, call us on 0333 207 9330 to discuss, or book an initial appointment to talk through your needs with a therapist.

Yes, but not with the same therapist. For those seeing a couples counsellor as well as a different individual counsellor at One Therapy, you can rest assured we have strict procedures in place to ensure that nothing is passed between the therapists involved, so all sessions remain confidential.

Marriage counselling gives you and your spouse a private, neutral space to work through conflict, rebuild connection, or decide together how you want to move forward.

You meet your therapist together, and both of you get equal opportunity to be heard. Whether you’re newly married or decades in, your therapist helps you understand each other and find a way through.

Not at all. You don’t need to be on the brink of separation to benefit.

Marriage counselling is just as valuable for strengthening a relationship that’s already working as it is for one that’s struggling. Many couples come simply to communicate better, reconnect, or navigate a big change together.

Couples counselling can help with communication problems, affairs, trust, sex and intimacy, parenting differences, infertility, anger, or simply feeling distant or bored.

Whether your aim is to strengthen your relationship or to separate as amicably as possible, your therapist offers a neutral space to work through whatever you’re facing.

Couples therapy is £170 from your first appointment. Sessions may be short or longer term depending on what you need, and you can stop at any time simply by letting your therapist know.

There’s no fixed course to commit to, you and your partner decide the pace together.

Yes. Couples counselling isn’t only about staying together, it’s about finding the healthiest way forward, whatever that looks like for you.

If you decide to separate, therapy can help you do so with more understanding and less conflict, which matters especially when children or long shared histories are involved.

Yes. While we generally recommend meeting your therapist together in person at our Oxford Circus or Bloomsbury spaces, our therapists are experienced in delivering couples and marriage counselling online too.

Whatever works best for you both, that’s the right choice.

It varies. Some couples come for a few sessions to work through something specific; others stay longer to rebuild over time.

Sessions last 50 minutes, and there’s no set number you have to commit to. You and your therapist decide together what’s right for your relationship.
