Couples Counselling
Support for people in an intimate partner relationship.
A space for you to talk in confidence and better understand your situation.
You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, or any number of other mental or physical health issues. You may have suffered a loss in your life, or have questions about identity, spirituality, or big topics that are difficult to tackle on your own.
Our qualified professionals can help you work through problems openly and honestly without judgement.
Sharing how you feel is an important mechanism for coping with stress and anxiety. Talking to a counsellor may be easier than opening up to friends or family.
Even if you feel comfortable talking to friends or relatives, a counsellor will always remain objective and impartial, and will not judge you for what you say. Our counsellors are trained to help you resolve complicated feelings and understand yourself better.
Thank you for being so kind and encouraging. This has been the most productive counselling I’ve ever had.
There are many different approaches to counselling. You can read about them here.
Most of our counsellors are integrative therapists, which means they draw from different approaches depending on your needs. Our counsellors shape their sessions based on your unique circumstances. You’re welcome to discuss what may work best for you during your initial consultation.
There’s also plenty of opportunity to discuss reshaping your sessions with your counsellor if you feel things aren’t working. We want you to get the most out of your sessions.
We value and respect everyone as an individual.
In your initial consultation, we’ll discuss any specific needs or preferences you have, and what you want to gain from your sessions.
We’ll take the time to get to know you and understand how your experiences have shaped who you are. We’ll work together to determine your goals and how best we can achieve them.
Feeling unsure? We've got you covered.
The counselling we offer is fully-funded, so we often have eligibility criteria’s to follow.
This can vary, but our administration team can always help with what support is available, and to whom.

You’ll first attend an initial consultation. Your counsellor will get to know more about you and answer any important questions.
If you and your counsellor are a good fit, you’ll be offered weekly sessions at the same time with the same counsellor.
You’ll work together to gradually resolve your problems and better understand yourself.
It’s important to note that counselling takes time, so it may take a few sessions for you to start feeling better.
It’s important that you tell your counsellor if you feel you’d be able to work better with someone else.
A counsellor will never take this personally, and we want you to get the most out of your sessions.
We have practitioners specifically experienced in supporting people who are neurodiverse or have disabilities. We have counsellors that specialise in issues that impact the LGBTQIA+ community and people of colour.
Counselling works better when you build a good relationship with your practitioner. It’s better to mention it early on if you’d like to try a different counsellor, or let us know when booking if you would like to work with a practitioner with specific skills — we will try our best to accommodate you.
We offer sessions of funded counselling to individuals and couples, including more specialist – sex therapy.
The number of free sessions you receive will depend on your circumstances, and on the funding available which covers any costs.
Many people do not feel the need to continue after 10 sessions.
Please note we are no longer accepting paid-for counselling enquiries. These are now available through our subsidiary Now You’re Talking.
