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.

It 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.

How Therapy Helps

We use effective, research-based approaches like the Gottman Method, CBT, and Compassion-Focused Therapy to help you:

Communicate more clearly and calmly
Understand each other’s needs and emotions
Manage conflict without blame or withdrawal
Reconnect emotionally and physically
Support each other through stress or change

We don’t take sides. Instead, we help you work as a team again.

What to Expect

Sessions last 50 minutes, usually weekly
Available in clinics across London or online

All sessions are respectful, structured, and tailored to your pace

Whether you’ve been together for 2 years or 20, therapy offers a space to rebuild and grow.
