Sessions don’t just focus on what you’re arguing about, but the patterns, attachment needs, and unspoken dynamics underneath. 

Over time, most couples find that sessions shift from managing conflict to rebuilding communication, trust, and a shared sense of where you’re going as a family.

That’s one of the most common situations we work with. You don’t both need to be convinced before you come — scepticism is welcome, and your therapist is trained to work with it. If your partner is hesitant, the clinical assessment can provide a useful space to ask questions before committing to ongoing therapy.

Yes. Couples therapy addresses what’s happening between you; individual therapy gives one or both partners space for something they’re carrying personally — PND, birth trauma, anxiety. Where both are relevant, we use separate therapists for each so neither space bleeds into the other. Your assessment therapist can advise.

You will hear from your therapist within 48 hours of your booking and assessment slots are typically available within 5–7 days of booking. 

It varies. Some couples work together for six to eight sessions on a specific issue; others work for six months or more. The assessment gives your therapist a clearer sense of what’s realistic for your situation – but the choice is always yours.
