Couples counselling

(which can be referred to as marriage guidance) is a form of therapy that looks to improve communication and resolve issues within an intimate relationship.

How it works

We offer relationship counselling and psychotherapy appointments at our locations in Warwick Stratford Upon Avon and Birmingham. If you are currently in a relationship you may decide to come to the sessions with your partner, or on you own.

Counselling and couple therapy can help people open up some of the issues that are troubling them. Couples who come together open up communication between them so that they can understand the underlying issues in order to resolve the difficulties they are experiencing and find an agreed way forward. Problems with relationships can be complicated and sometimes they stem from challenges you may have experienced in your childhood as well as current concerns. Relationship therapy can be helpful in this situation for both individuals and couples, as it looks at what lies behind current difficulties, paying attention both to the past and the present in order to bring about change.
