Services
Relationship Counselling
Our relationship counselling helps individuals and couples address communication breakdowns, intimacy issues, and recurring conflicts. We provide a safe space to explore relationship dynamics, whether you're married, cohabiting, or navigating separation. With over 15 years of experience, our BACP-registered counsellors use evidence-based approaches to help clients rebuild trust and improve emotional connections.
Online Counselling
Online counselling sessions via Zoom or Skype offer flexibility for clients unable to attend in person. This service suits those with mobility challenges, work commitments, or childcare responsibilities. Maintaining the same professional standards as face-to-face sessions, our online therapy ensures continuity of care regardless of location, with sessions priced consistently at 80 per hour.
Initial Assessment
The initial 60-minute assessment session helps determine if our counselling approach suits your needs. During this session, counsellors evaluate your specific situation, discuss potential therapeutic goals, and establish whether ongoing sessions would be beneficial. This crucial first step allows clients to experience the counselling process and ask questions about our methodology.
Ongoing Therapy
Ongoing therapy typically involves weekly one-hour sessions, with flexibility for ad-hoc adjustments when needed. Most clients complete therapy within 4-10 sessions, though duration varies based on individual circumstances. Our counsellors work collaboratively with clients to develop personalised strategies for maintaining healthy relationships beyond the therapy period.
Specialised Counselling
We provide targeted support for specific relationship challenges including infidelity, parenting conflicts, and health-related relationship strains. Our counsellors have particular expertise in addressing issues arising from chronic illness, mental health conditions, and autism spectrum disorders. This specialisation ensures clients receive focused, effective therapeutic interventions tailored to their unique circumstances.
