Couples therapy or relationship counselling or couples counselling, is a safe space where you and your partner can better understand each other and grow together.

A qualified couples therapist helps guide honest conversations about communication, trust, conflict, or emotional disconnection, whether you’re attending therapy near you or online. You’ll explore new tools and insights together, at your own pace.

The words might differ, but the goal is the same: to help your relationship thrive.

In the UK, people often say couples counselling or relationship therapy interchangeably. Some may see therapy as more in-depth and counselling as short-term, but both aim to support you through challenges like miscommunication, drifting apart, or recurring conflicts.

What matters most is that you feel heard — and that your therapist understands what you need.

So many. Relationships are complex, and therapy gives you the space to explore what’s really going on, together.

Couples therapy can support you with:

1. Communication breakdowns or frequent arguments
2. Rebuilding trust after betrayal or infidelity
3. Feeling emotionally disconnected
4. Navigating parenting or life changes
5. Strengthening your connection before marriage (premarital counselling)

If you feel like you’re stuck in the same old patterns, or if you want to deepen your relationship and truly understand each other on a deeper level, couples therapy can be a great idea. It’s about taking the time to reflect on your relationship and finding ways to make it even stronger – whether you’re facing challenges or just want to grow together.

Yes, for many couples, online couples therapy is just as helpful as in-person support. It can feel more flexible and accessible, especially if you’re managing busy lives or living in different places.

You’ll still work with a qualified couples therapist, get personalised guidance, and meet face-to-face over video, all from a space that feels safe and comfortable to you.

We need your contact details to be able to pass them on to your chosen therapist so that you can get in touch and make an appointment.
