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.
If one or both of you is not resident in the UK please read about our International Therapy Service.
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 and offering appointments both online and in person from our centre in central London.
We are able to offer high quality therapy at affordable prices by working with therapists undertaking advanced training as part of their postgraduate professional development. Clients paying less then our standard rate of £100 will usually be seen by a trainee.
Clients within our Direct Booking service, or paying over our standard fees if being seen within our Main Clinical Service (pay what you can afford service), will be seen by a qualified therapist.
We currently have vacancies available to see a trainee for low fee therapy at £45 per week. Eligibility criteria apply.
“You have to be real. Feelings need to be expressed and felt.”
Couple therapist and CEO Andrew Balfour on the work of couple therapy, and the very real breakthroughs that can come from it
Couple therapy works.
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.
