Online couples counselling
Online couples counselling offers a supportive space for partners to talk about their relationship with the guidance of a counsellor. Sessions can help you slow difficult conversations down, understand each other’s perspectives and recognise the patterns that may be contributing to conflict or disconnection.
Couples counselling is not only for relationships in crisis. It can also help partners communicate more openly, navigate change, rebuild trust or strengthen their connection before difficulties become more established. The aim is not to take sides, but to help both partners feel heard and better understand what is happening between them.
Couples counselling is offered by Sherry. Sessions are held online by private video wherever you are, and each session lasts 1 hour. The current introductory price is £25 (GBP) per session. You can see online counselling fees for full details.

Common questions about couples counselling
What happens during a couples counselling session?
Couples counselling gives both partners structured time to discuss their relationship with the support of a practitioner.
The first session normally explores what has brought you to counselling, how each person understands the situation and what you would like to discuss. We may help you to slow conversations down, identify recurring communication patterns and give each partner space to speak.
The purpose is not to resolve every difficulty immediately, but to create a calmer, more constructive environment.
Is couples counselling only for relationships in crisis?
No. We believe that couples counselling can help to maintain healthy relationships.
Some couples attend because they repeatedly have the same argument, feel less connected or struggle to discuss a particular subject. Others want space to reflect during a change such as moving, marriage, parenthood or a shift in work or family responsibilities.
You do not need to wait until you are considering ending the relationship or until problems feel overwhelming. Even when most parts of the relationship are going well, counselling can provide space to explore smaller concerns, strengthen communication and better understand each other, helping you stay connected and address difficulties before they become harder to manage.
Will the counsellor take sides?
Our role is not to decide who is right, declare a winner, or automatically place all responsibility on one partner.
We will aim to understand both perspectives and draw attention to the ways you communicate and respond to one another. This does not mean that harmful, threatening, or controlling behaviour will be treated as an ordinary disagreement, or that both partners will always be considered equally responsible.
Where there are concerns about abuse, coercion or immediate safety, couples counselling may not be appropriate. In these circumstances, we may pause or end the sessions, and signpost you towards more appropriate support.
What if one partner is unsure about couples counselling?
It is common for one partner to feel more certain about couples counselling than the other.
Someone can begin with questions or reservations and does not need to pretend to feel enthusiastic. Both partners must, however, attend voluntarily and be willing to participate respectfully.
Couples counselling is unlikely to be constructive if someone is being pressured to attend, is afraid to speak openly or may face repercussions because of what is discussed.
