"Perfect. Will be back for more!"
Anna S.
Couples Counselling in Holborn, Central London
Couples counselling gives two people a neutral room and an experienced therapist who is on the side of the relationship rather than either partner. Sessions look at the patterns that keep repeating, what each person is actually asking for, and how the two of you talk when it matters most.
What Couples Counselling Helps With
Arguments that keep repeating
Understanding the loop the two of you fall into, and finding a different way in before it escalates.
Communication
Practical work on listening and being heard, particularly when one person withdraws and the other pursues.
Trust and repair
Space to talk through a breach of trust with someone who can hold the conversation steady.
Big transitions
New baby, bereavement, illness, redundancy, blended families and other changes that reshape a relationship.
How a Session Works
1
First session50 min
Both partners describe what brings them, and the therapist sets out how sessions will run and what each of you wants from them.
2
Mapping the pattern50 min
Later sessions slow down a typical disagreement so the sequence of triggers and reactions becomes visible to both of you.
3
New conversations50 min
Guided conversations in the room, where the therapist interrupts the old pattern and helps you finish the exchange differently.
4
Review50 min
Periodic check on what has shifted, what still needs work, and whether to continue, pause or stop.
