We're here to help with couples therapy

We can all experience difficulties in our relationships from time to time.

When we feel stuck with conflicts, misunderstandings or other problems and can’t find a way out of this ourselves, then we need some help. Couples therapy will give you a safe and protected setting where you can work with your therapist to explore your situation, and find new ways of thinking about and resolving the problems you and your partner are experiencing.

What if my partner doesn't want to attend? 

Our therapists are trained to work with both couples and individuals and we see lots of people on their own.

Sometimes it's because their partner doesn't wish to attend. On the other hand, it is a lot easier to sort out relationship problems if you both come, so we will encourage you to encourage them.

We also help individuals who may not currently be in a relationship. It may be your relationship has recently broken down or that you have felt that you have had a series of relationships that you have been unsure have been right in some way or another.

How can couples therapy help me with my relationship?

At Tavistock Relationships we provide regular weekly sessions which will offer you a chance to explore some of the issues that may be concerning you.

The first step is an initial consultation with one of our therapists who will think with you about what is worrying you, and help you to find new ways of understanding and making sense of your difficulties.

You can choose to come with your partner or on your own. At your first meeting with us, you will be able to talk through any concerns and ask any questions you might have about what coming to therapy will entail.

If you and your therapist decide that ongoing couple therapy is likely to be helpful for you, we will offer you a regular weekly appointment with a therapist matched with your needs.

Our aim is to make therapy accessible for everyone.  We do this by offering a range of fees starting at £50 per session. 

Select whether you wish to book an appointment in either the Main Clinical Service, or the Direct Booking Service.  You can read more about each service and the fees below.

  • Direct Booking Service – Our fixed fee service.  Fees start from £150 per session.  Book an appointment with one of our skilled therapists.  You have the opportunity to continue seeing the same therapist in the same time slot for ongoing sessions.  This service is available for both UK and international clients.
  • Main Clinical Booking Service – Pay what you can afford service (UK Clients).  Book a one off initial consultation with one of our therapists for an in-depth assessment of your needs.  If ongoing therapy is agreed, we will allocate you to a therapist, and agree on a fee from our sliding scale £50 - £180 per session that is manageable for you.
