Couples Therapy / Counselling
Please send us a quick enquiry email. If couples counselling, is to work for you, it often involves time and commitment as well as a not insignificant cost. So, it's important to look for the right therapist. Exploring if couples therapy is the right course for you to take, and who you might work well with are the main purposes of an initial assessment.
To find the right person, there are a lot of things to take into account. For example - your availability for sessions, as well as what you can afford. We also need to understand if you have the capacity to travel for the right counsellor, who might not be at our centre in Witney, but be in Oxford for example.
Every individual, and every couple is different, so we want to find a therapist who you can relate well with (as they are all different as well!). The relationship you have with your counsellor is fundamental to how will it might work for you. Different therapists will work in a variety of different ways, and have different relational styles. So whilst an expert mechanic may be able to work with a variety of cars, it isn't the same with couples counselling.
Many couples also benefit from working individually for a while before entering into couples therapy, and an assessment can help us to explore this as an option.
The assessment appointment will take about one hour, and is charged at £100 payable. Couples therapy is generally charged at between £70 and £130 per one-hour session, and depends upon what each practitioner charges. Sessions are generally either weekly or fortnightly. Individual therapy is available from £20.
