Online Couples Therapy
Even the strongest relationship can suffer difficulties. Let us help you work through the tough times.
Maintaining a happy intimate relationship is difficult and something that many of us struggle with. Jealousy, extramarital affairs, money worries, sexual issues and communication problems can all place a huge strain on relationships. Sometimes it becomes hard to remember the happiness of the honeymoon period when “real life” seeps in. Opening up to friends can exacerbate the negativity if one side of the couple is seen to be talking about the other behind their back or people are perceived to be “taking sides”. The Online Therapy Company offers online couples counselling.
What is couples therapy?
Couples therapy and marriage counselling focuses on relationship issues and teaching couples to resolve their difficulties together. A couple’s therapist will not tell a couple what to do – rather they offer relationship counselling and will work with them to achieve a solution to relationship turmoil. Couples are encouraged to find the best possible outcome to their issues, even if that means an amicable split.
What does a couples counsellor do?
A couples therapist offers emotionally focused therapy to both parties in a relationship. They will ask questions about how your relationship got to its current point, discussing how things were in the past and which factors might have negatively affected the relationship. The relationship counsellor will then assist you in finding ways to escape the negative models of communication and/or behaviour you have fallen into.
How can a relationship therapist help me?
It can be difficult to admit you have got to the point where it is necessary to consult a couples therapist to help you with your relationship problems. It is also fairly common for one partner to be more enthusiastic about the idea than the other, meaning that even before you have sat down in the therapist’s chair you may have to address either your own or your partner’s doubts about therapy. Couples can choose a more methodical approach to their issues, using therapy such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or a less rigidly structured talking therapy such as Psychodynamic Therapy.
How long does a couples therapy take?
If during the therapy sessions both partners are committed to analysing their relationship without resorting to blaming or gratuitous nastiness, then counselling for couples can show results early on. It can be more difficult to judge how long a course of counselling will take when there are two parties involved, as there is the potential for differing levels of commitment from each partner.
Is it necessary to attend couples sessions together?
It’s preferred to attend couples counselling sessions together as this allows for a more constructive environment for both of you. We do however offer one-on-one sessions with respective spouses in conjunction with longer-term couples therapy.
Is online counselling for couples effective?
Couples counselling is most effective when couples act quickly and decide to seek help before things become damaged beyond repair or the prospect of a friendly separation becomes unlikely. Even if your relationship woes only extend to bickering over household tasks, if it is affecting your relationship then it is never too soon to take steps to sort it out. The addition of an impartial intermediary and fresh pair of eyes in the form of a couples counsellor can be invaluable in lifting a couple out of a claustrophobic battle with one another.

Online Couple Therapy & Counseling Services London
At Online Therapy Company we offer a variety of therapeutic services for individuals, couples, families and groups. While most of our therapists draw on a range of approaches in their work, we specialize in:
- Psychodynamic psychotherapy: helping uncover blind spots in order to identify and confront the hidden sources of difficulties
- Relational psychotherapy: working to attain insight and develop better, healthier ways of relating to oneself and others through a focus on the client/therapist relationship
We also draw extensively on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and coaching techniques and offer telephone and video support in addition to in-person counselling.
In some cases, clients find it helpful to engage in multiple types of counselling and coaching; other clients may progress from one form of therapy to another as their needs and goals evolve.
