Couples Counselling and How It Can Help

Even the strongest relationships can go through difficult times. Whether you’re stuck in the same arguments, feeling disconnected, or recovering from a painful event, couples counselling can help you move forward — together. At Dr Stuart Psychologists, we offer supportive, evidence-based therapy to help couples improve communication, rebuild trust, and deepen connection — in clinics across London or online.

What Is Couples Counselling?

Couples counselling is a space where both partners can feel heard, understood, and supported by a trained psychologist. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit — many couples come to strengthen their relationship before issues grow.

Couples counselling can help with:

Constant arguments or tension
Feeling emotionally distant or misunderstood
Difficulties with intimacy or affection
Rebuilding trust after betrayal or hurt
Parenting or family stress
Big life transitions (e.g. moving, children, health issues)

You’ll work together to break unhelpful patterns and build new ways of relating.

We tailor treatment to each individual, drawing on a range of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), EMDR, and other specialist therapies. Or see other pages related to anxiety here anxiety, stress and burnout and depression
