Relationship counselling provides a supportive space where you can slow things down, hear each other more clearly, and make sense of the dynamics between you. It can be helpful for any relationship between 2 people — romantic partners, family members, parent–adult child pairs, or others who want to understand each other better, navigate challenges, or reconnect.
Using a unique 2:2 format, your relationship is supported by two qualified therapists working together. This dual‑perspective approach creates a balanced, secure space where both partners feel equally heard and understood, and offers rich insight into complex relational patterns.
Your first consultation lasts up to 90 minutes and gives time for each of you to share what has brought you here and what you are hoping for therapy will bring to your relationship.
Before we meet, you will complete a short questionnaire and a CORE form to help us understand your situation and assess any risks.
In some circumstances, up to three consultations may be needed to understand your relationship dynamics and to assess whether relationship therapy is the most helpful route. Any follow‑on consultations are 50 minutes.
After the consultation process, we will decide together whether ongoing relationship counselling feels appropriate. If we choose to continue, we will agree a regular weekly session time and begin working collaboratively on the areas that feel most important to you.
Sessions take place face to face at Somerset Counselling Centre in Taunton, and last 50 minutes.
Fees range from £70–£90 per session depending on household income.
There is no fixed number of sessions — we work for as long as the process feels helpful, reviewing things together as we go.
