Online Couples Counselling
with a Qualified Relationship Therapist

If you’re interested in exploring couples counselling but you’re finding it difficult to locate the right therapist in your area, you’ve come to the right place!

Why seek help from a qualified couples counsellor?

The Couple Consultancy offers online relationship counselling for couples and individuals with a qualified, specialist relationship therapist. We work with both couples and individuals to offer support on matters that you may be finding difficult, either in your current relationship or with relationships in general. 
Our approach is not to judge. We provide an open-minded and confidential service for you to say what’s on your mind. We'll work with you to discover a better way of understanding and communicating with each other to help create a happier, healthier relationship.

“How do we communicate better?”
“How do we stop arguing?”
“We’re not getting on and I don’t know why”
“She/he won’t listen to me”
“I can’t get past her/his affair”
“Things changed after we had kids”
“I think I want to separate”

These are just a few of the concerns that we deal with each week.

Many people wait until their relationship issues seem unbearable before they decide to reach out for help.

You may be dealing with sadness, anxiety, depression, loneliness and are unsure of how to manage such difficult feelings. You could be considering separation or divorce, perhaps trying to cope with an affair or betrayal and are stuck for what to do next.

If you and your partner find yourselves in a cycle of blame or completely shut down from each other, it can feel like there's no way out. Don’t wait until it’s too late to seek professional help.

We can support you in exploring:

Cross-cultural issues

Bickering and arguments that you can't seem to get away from

Worries about trusting your partner

Not being able to ‘get through’ to your partner

Dealing with the aftermath of an affair

Is it time to move on from the relationship?

Pre-marital considerations

How to talk about and manage money as a couple

Difficulties with your sexual relationship

Struggles in maintaining a lasting relationship

Parenting challenges

 … and so much more.

Why choose online couples counselling?

There are many reasons why people turn to online couples counselling. You may have struggled to locate a local therapist who specialises in relationship therapy, you may live in a small town and the possibility bumping into your therapist feels discomforting, you may be an English speaker living abroad and unable to find an English-speaking therapist, or you and your partner may live in different locations so online counselling is your best option. 

It also allows you to work around a busy schedule, saving time travelling to/from a therapist’s office and possibly make use of a lunch break. Online therapy may be easier to fit in around shift-work, which can make it difficult to schedule sessions within a local therapist’s working hours. 

Some people may find it easier to open up online, in the comfort of your own home, rather than in a therapy room. Online therapy may also save on the expense of a babysitter, making it more cost-effective for you. 

Whatever your reason for looking into online relationship therapy, we are here to help. 

What to expect from online couples counselling?

Online counselling with a qualified therapist will help you to work through the challenges you are facing in your relationship.

Sessions last for 50 minutes and you will work with the same therapist each session in order to build an open and trusting relationship to support your needs. 

We offer a talking therapy, which means we will work alongside you to understand what may be going wrong in your relationship and together we will explore how we can get things back on track for you both. 

Couples can often find themselves going around in circles revisiting the same arguments over and over again. When you get caught up in these patterns it can be difficult to believe there is a way out.
Working with a specialist couples therapist can help you see things from a new perspective and get off the merry-go-round. 

Our aim is to get you talking instead of arguing. We don’t focus on who is ‘right’ and who is ‘wrong’. Instead, we look at how both of you may contribute to your current relationship dynamic.

We will guide you towards new understandings of yourself and your partner so you can gain insights into what triggers you both and what you can do to improve your relationship.

What are the limitations of online relationship therapy?

Online couples therapy may not be suitable for everyone. Before working with you it is important for us to understand your particular circumstances so we can assess if we are best placed to help. We will aim to understand what has prompted you to get in touch and from here, we will be able to discuss how we are best able to support you through therapy.
