Every relationship goes through hard stretches, but some patterns are worth noticing.

Relationship counselling in London gives you both room to slow down, understand what’s really going on between you, and reconnect.

Issues I Help Couples Work Through
Common relationship problems I help couples resolve every single week.
Every couple faces different challenges, and no two relationships look the same from the inside. Here are the issues that bring most couples through my door.
- Communication breakdown
- Trust and betrayal
- Frequent arguing
- Emotional distance
- Sexual intimacy issues
- Parenting disagreements
- Financial stress
- Life transitions

- Pre-marriage concerns
Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I offer marriage counselling in London and relationship therapy for couples at every stage, whether you’re newly together, married for decades, or somewhere in between. If you’re preparing to tie the knot, my pre-marriage counselling sessions help you build a strong foundation before the big day. Together, we work through what’s holding you back and find a way forward.
How Therapy Helps You Both
Couples therapy isn’t about picking sides or deciding who’s right. As your relationship therapist in London, my job is to give you both very practical tools to communicate clearly, rebuild trust, and feel like a team again, no matter what you’re going through right now, together.
Better Communication
You’ll learn how to say what you mean without turning it into a fight, and how to also listen fully instead of waiting for your turn to speak.
Rebuilding Trust
Whether trust broke over one event or wore down slowly, we work on what it takes to feel secure with your partner, one honest step at a time.
Managing Conflict Better
You’ll learn how to disagree without it turning personal, spot the patterns behind repeated fights, and find your way back to each other faster after an argument ends.
Reconnecting Emotionally & Physically
Many couples lose touch with the closeness they used to share. We work on rebuilding that connection, both emotional and physical, so you feel like partners, not roommates.
What Really Happens In A Couple Therapy Session
Walking into your first session can feel daunting, so here’s exactly what to expect. No judgment, no sides taken, just a calm space where you both get heard and start working toward something better, together.
- Open conversation
- Active listening
- No blame
- Guided discussion
- Practical exercises
- Honest feedback
- Clear goals
- Confidential space
- One-session therapy
- Ongoing support

How much is couples counselling in London?
Prices vary widely across London, often between £70 and £180 per session depending on the therapist and location. Urise Counselling keeps fees clear and affordable from the outset, so you know exactly what you’re paying before your first appointment.
What is the success rate of couples counselling?
Success depends on what you’re both working towards, but research consistently shows that 70-75% of couples who attend sessions report better communication and reduced conflict. Couples who stay open and attend consistently tend to see the strongest, most lasting results.
I want to come for couples counselling, but my partner isn't keen. What should I do?
You can start on your own. Many people find that working through their own patterns and communication style creates real shifts in the relationship, even before their partner joins in. I can also help you think through how to gently raise the idea with your partner.
How should my partner and I decide whether we need couples counselling or individual counselling?
If the issue centres on how you relate to each other, communication, trust, and intimacy, couples counselling is usually the better starting point. If one of you is dealing with something more personal, like anxiety or grief, individual sessions alongside couples work often give the best results.
Can I have couples counselling services at the same time as individual counselling?
Yes, many clients do both. Individual sessions give you space to work through personal patterns privately, while couples sessions focus on the relationship itself. I can coordinate with you on how the two fit together without one undermining the other.
How often are appointments?
Most couples start with weekly sessions to build momentum early on, then move to fortnightly as things settle. I’ll discuss what pace suits your situation, your schedule, and how quickly you both want to work through what’s come up.
How many sessions will I need?
There’s no fixed number. Some couples resolve a specific issue in a single focused session, while others benefit from several months of regular work. I review progress with you regularly so you’re never committed to more sessions than you actually need.
Life is busy, do you have appointment times that will suit me?
Yes. I offer appointments across daytime, evening, and weekend slots to fit around work and family commitments, plus couples therapy online for when getting to a clinic in person isn’t practical for either of you.
Online or In-Person Options Are Available
Some people feel more comfortable talking face-to-face; others prefer the convenience of a video call from home. Both options are available, and both work just as well. Whatever fits your schedule and your comfort level, Urise Counselling in London has you fully covered.
