Congratulations for taking the first step in strengthening your relationships. It isn't an easy thing to do. Now that you know you want some support, what's next? There's a few different ways that we can help.
Free relationship support and guidance
Browse free, expert-written articles on topics like breakups, arguments, family stress, sex and communication. Available anytime, from the comfort of home - and no need to sign up.
Practical toolkits for relationship issues
Digital guides to help you handle relationship challenges on your own or with a partner - we have options for everyone, including problems like dating, deciding to not get married, or even moving on after divorce. Includes practical tips, reflection exercises, and conversation starters, for £10 or less.
Chat quickly with a trained relationship expert
Need help with the day-to-day problems that come up in the relationships in your life? Or maybe you just need the chance to get something off your chest? Our Chat with a Counsellor session offers you a 25-minute individual phone session with one of our counsellors for just £45. We know your time is important so we'll do our best to see you on the same day, or within 24 hours.
One-off counselling for relationships and family life
A single, focused counselling session to help you tackle one relationship issue - like a recent argument, a breakup, or stress at home. One session therapy provides you with the tools you need to make sense of things and practical steps to take action.
It lasts 50 minutes and can be done on Zoom from one or two different locations. The session costs £75, and we’ll try to see you within 24 hours, at a time that’s convenient for you.
Regular counselling to help you make lasting change
Ongoing counselling is one of the main ways we support people to strengthen their relationships. In ongoing counselling, you'll be matched with a counsellor who will work with you over a defined period of time - generally around six 50 minute sessions. That might involve regular weekly or fortnightly therapy to explore deeper relationship patterns, emotional wellbeing, or long-term stress.
You can read more about the types of ongoing counselling we offer below.
Individual counselling to help you move forward
Talk one-to-one with a therapist about relationship struggles, low self-esteem, grief, or anything on your mind - it doesn't have to be about your relationships! Ongoing individual therapy sessions from £55, available online via Zoom.
