Jacquie Young

Online Marriage Counselling

Hello, my name is Jacquie Young and I am a fully qualified ‘Relate’ trained couple therapist with over 15 years experience in relationship counselling. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Couple Counselling.

I have considerable experience working with same gender relationships, mixed cultures, blended families and separated couples. Along with being qualified to work with children and young people.

My Background

My careeer has been varied, although always centred around supporting people, in a wide a range environments. I worked as a lecturer in a large multi-cultural college in East London for around 14 years. Prior to that I worked in local government focusing on issues such as homelessness, housing policy and improving customer satisfaction.

I also have vast experience working in the voluntary sector for a wide range of independent and charities. Supporting people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. This includes mental health support, domestic violence and reparative justice. I’m also experienced in working with people with autism and and their familie supporting them through challenging times.

Whist at Relate I also worked in conjunction with CAFCASS (Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service.). Supporting separating and divorcing parents and using my expertise as a qualified child counsellor to focus on the children’s needs. This aided the reaching of agreements to help them make shared plans to move forward.

How online marriage counselling can help

Whatever your reasons for seeking  relationship counselling, I recognise that it can take courage. Asking someboy else for help can feel difficult. Therefore, I am still humbled when people take the decision to do so. However, this is the first step in working through any negative emotions and making the required changes to break a cycle of potentially unhelpful behaviours that might not be serving you well.

So, if you or your relationship is going through a difficult time or perhaps has reached crisis point,  it would be helpful for us to talk. Perhaps there is an ongoing situation where the the same arguments keep repeating again and again. Or maybe you feel like you have reached a point where you just can’t live like this anymore.

Over the years so many people have told me that they wish they had made the decision to come to counselling earlier. They often express frustration that they thought they could sort it themselves and  ‘just bumbled along’ and didn’t take the time to discover whether it was possible to make positive change. . People often tell me that they are amazed at the impact of being listened to and just having another person looking in at their relationship and offering a different perspective on it.

How I can help

I firmly believe, whatever your reason for attending relationship counselling. By having an honest look at your relationship will only be of benefit. Together, we will explore how you communciate and gain an understanding of  your individual needs and expectations are in a  warm, supportive, non-judgemental environment.

People tell me that I make them feel at ease very quickly, even when one partner is reluctant to attend. Feedback has been that they found it easy to open up and be honest about what’s going on for them. I  won’t just  sit back waiting for you to talk. I will actively participate, it is important that we all worki together to discover what’s going on. This might mean unpicking repetitive arguments to identify where behavior patterns come, This is so we are able to understand the changes required which will be more helpful for you and your relationship.

I use a variety of different theoretical approaches and will quickly find out what will be most helpful for your unique situation.  Therfore, if you decide, for whatever reason, that I am not the right therapist for you, I  will be more than happy to help you explore alternatives.

Ethical Standards

I subscribe and work within the UKCP code of ethics and the BACP ethical framework. I undertake regular professional development alongside  regular clinical supervision and peer supervision groups. My professional indemnity insurance is up to date.

Phil Yules

Online Couple Counselling

My name is Phil Yules and I am a fully qualified ‘Relate’ trained, relationship counsellor for ‘Online Couples Counselling’. I hold a CPCAB (Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body) ‘Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling’. I am also a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

My experience in my specialist area spans over 15 years across third sector organisations and more recently with ‘Relate’ and the NHS. I am experienced in working with mixed-sex and same-sex couples.

My approach to couple counselling

I understand that difficulties can beset relationships, whether these are partner or family relationships. Couples often lose sight of each other within the complexities of modern living. I will help you to identify where your relationship currently is and how you got there. If you would like to change the course of your future relationship, I will help you to look at how you can reframe this.

It is common for problems in a relationship to simmer or to be ignored leading to misunderstandings. This is often because we start assuming that we know what a partner is thinking, or they said something ‘in that way’. I will encourage you both to recognise what each other’s perspectives actually are and work towards eliminating misunderstandings through you being open and honest.

The environment I create will be of mutual respect and understanding. I will not side with either one of you but instead, endeavour to provide the space where you both feel listened to and understood, initially by me but ultimately by each other. I will remain supportive and non-judgemental at all times. Our work, will of course, be confidential.

I will help you both to think about what is happening or happens for you individually, alongside asking you to consider what happens between you. There is no quick-fix manual for relationship therapy. That’s because we are all different and every individual is unique and therefore every couple relationship is unique. It is important to think about and respond to what is happening for you, which means communication can improve between you.

Relationship MOT

We have our cars and boilers serviced regularly to ensure their smooth running and to try to prevent breakdowns. However, we often neglect our relationship until problems become significant and entrenched. In a Relationship MOT we endeavour to explore your current situation. It is a relationship health check that offers an overview of your relationship at the moment. This will help you understand some of the issues you, or you and your partner may be facing.

Ethical standards

I work within the BACP code of ethics and the BACP ethical framework. This means, I undertake regular clinical supervision and regular, professional development. My professional indemnity insurance is always up to date.

Janine Knight

Online Couple Counselling

Hello, my name is Janine Knight and I am an experienced ‘Relate’ qualified counsellor  specialising in online couple counselling for couples and individuals.  I am registered with the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and experienced in working with a diverse range of relationship issues.

If you are in a relationship where you are struggling to resolve conflict or reach compromises it can lead to you supressing your feelings of unhappiness. Relationship counselling can help by bringing the issues out into the open so you can move forward more positively, in whichever way you choose.

My approach to couple counselling is caring and empathetic.  I will create a trusting, therapeutic relationship to enable you to gain new understanding as to not working from both perspectives. My role is help you actively listen to each other so you are able to communicate more effectively.

My previous career was as a registered Midwife within the NHS. The pschological as drew me to re-train as a therapist. Through talking to and understanding people’s experiences, I found I was able to provide support following trauma.  My midwifery experience gave me many useful skills that I bring to my counselling role. I am a calm and positive person and I find it easy to relate to people.

Why choose me as your therapist

Relationship therapy is my specialist area and I am passionate about the job I do! I understand it can be difficult to take that first step into couple counselling. Because opening up to a stranger about the personal details in your life might feel a little daunting. However, couples tell me that I quickly put them at ease which allows them to relax and engage in the therapy.

My communication style is friendly, relatable and down to earth and I have experience with every type of relationship, including different sexualities, ages, genders and cultural backgrounds.

Online Couple Counselling

I will provide you with a safe, confidential space where you will be able to share your thoughts and feelings in a structured and meaningful way. At the first session, I will ask what you both hope to achieve from therapy. You may require help to understand each other more and make the relationship work better. Or perhaps have decided to separate and need help to do so more amicably. You may not know for sure what you want or you might be in very different places. That’s okay, I  will help you find clarity.

 How I work

Relationships require effort to remain healthy and couples don’t necessarily know how to do that work, particularly when problems arise. Couple counselling helps you gain new emotional tools to navigate the next chapter in your lives more positively.

Together we will explore how individual patterns of behaviour might be negatively impacting your relationship. This is  because people are often unaware of how their reactions affect their partner. Couples often report having the same arguments over and over again without understanding their own role in this dynamic.

By identifying unhelpful behaviour ssuch as criticism, blame or shutting down, couples gain more insight into each other’s responses and where they come from. People seek relationship counselling for a variety of reasons. However, poor communication tends to be the most common.

LQBTQ+

I am experienced in working with with the lesbian, gay and transexual community. I work by the exploring problems within the relationship as well as how any individual conerns might be impacting the relationship.

My Professional Qualifications

Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling (CPCAB with Relate)

Level 4 Diploma in Relationship Counselling (CPCAB with Relate)

Foundation Certificate in Psychodynamic Counselling (The Counselling Centre, Tunbridge Wells)

Mediation Skills Certificates (voluntary work at Maidstone Mediation Centre)

Denese MacDonald

Couple Counselling Online

Hello, my name is Denese MacDonald and I am a certified Relationship Counsellor of ’Imago Therapy, with over 20 years’ experience. I am BACP registered, which means I am qualified to work with both individuals and couples. Although relationship counselling is my main area of expertise.

Imago Therapy is a process designed to assist couples in overcoming a distanced hurting relationship in order to find love again. Whilst I am a practitioner of Imago Therapy I am essentially an ‘integrative therapist’. That’s’ because I don’t believe in a ‘one size fits all’ approach, So I use different therapeutic models, depending on each couples’ individual needs.

How I can help your relationship

Perhaps you are tired of recycling the same conflicts which result in you feeling misunderstood, hurt or angry? Or maybe you feel so unhappy in your relationship that you are wondering if you should stay or leave?

Often, when couples are experiencing a lot of pain and frustration in their relationship, they feel disconnected and defensive. I shall assist you in creating a positive change in the way you communicate. So instead of being defensive and acting out your hurt with destructive behaviours. I will help you both calmly express your pain or dissatisfactions and explore them in more detail. We will discuss what you would like to change and tailor the counselling to meet your goals.

Undertaking  couple counselling online, in a safe non-judgemental space will allow listening and understanding instead of escalation and conflict. Relationship counselling can help expand awareness and develop the skills needed to repair and grow your relationship to its full potential.

If change is not possible and recovery is not your goal. Then online couple counselling can support you to talk this out, with kindness and mutual respect; so, you can move forward more positively in separate lives.

Marriage counselling is a positive action to navigate your way through your relationship difficulties. Being accurately’heard’ by our partner is the start of healing and growth.

Ethical Practice

Being a BACP member means that my practice is informed by their code of ethics. I also undertake regular professional development and supervision as well as having professional indemnity insurance.

Judah Racham

Online Couple Counselling

Hello, my name is Judah, and I am a fully qualified and experienced Couple Counsellor with a level 5 Professional Diploma in ‘Psychotherapeutic Therapy. I have been in private practice for a number of years, providing therapy for both couples and individuals.

About relationships

It can be difficult to admit that we need help in life sometimes. We are given the idea that having the answers to things we face in relationships should come naturally to us. This is far from the truth as we can only manage with things in life with the tools and information that we have available to us. I have always found that when couples are able to increase the tools and awareness about their relationship, they are more empowered to make the changes that they see as necessary.

All of us are unique and complex as individuals and our relationships are places where we seek understanding and support from another person. This can really impact us when things are not going smoothly within these relationships and this will also impact us emotionally.

Many couples experience difficulties with communication in their relationship or a strained or diminished sex life. It is common for couples to be unclear about when and why the problems in their relationship, especially if this has occurred for many years.

There are things that happen in life such as bereavement, infidelity, the loss of job or health problems that can impact our relationships negatively, which can leave you feeling lonely, undesirable, insecure and lost. Sometimes couples experience difficulties that come from stored-up resentment and unexpressed feelings about things that have happened in the relationship.

Perhaps you might feel that your relationship would benefit from you both being able to talk openly, ideally without filtering your feelings about the other person. The road to healing our relationships sometimes begins with being heard and accepted by our significant other.

My approach to couple counselling

There is something unique and beneficial about having a “safe space” to speak with another person who is unbiased, empathic and accepting. My aim when I work with couples is to be genuine, down-to-earth and understanding of both people in the relationship. I am hoping that my approach will help couples to feel comfortable enough to open about the issues they are facing in their relationship.

I do not believe in taking sides and I won’t pass judgement or attribute ‘blame’ in anyway. My approach will be to listen to and to understand both of your perspectives. and I will  ask questions in order to bring about greater awareness of what is not working, as well as what you would like to see change. I will try to help you have a discussion in a way that helps you both listen to and try and understand each other’s perspectives.

I believe that the counselling space is an opportunity for you both to equally and safely share your feelings and perspectives. This will hopefully enable you to have a better awareness of how each of you view things in the relationship.

If there are tools or strategies for effective communication that I feel will be of help for your relationship, I will share these ideas with you. As a couple you can then decide which strategies you feel will work best for you to try.

A positive relationship counselling experience can, amongst other things, enable the following

Increased self-esteem
Improved intimacy between you
Improve your feelings of self-worth in the relationship
Help you both recognise and reduce negative and self-sabotaging behaviour
Leave you feeling more comfortable asking for your needs to be met within the relationship.

Alternatively, perhaps one or both parties feel a separation is inevitable and want help in doing so more amicably. As a neutral person I will support you in doing so whilst maintaining respect and compassion for each other.

Ethical standards

As a registered member of the BACP I subscribe to their code of ethics. This includes undertaking continuous professional development and clinical supervision.

During my work I have helped couples deal with the impact on their relationship of long-term illness, growing apart, sexual concerns and addictions. As well as helping manage change in a more effective, productive way.

About relationships

There can be many challenges to relationships in today’s busy world. Over a period of time relationships can change without us being aware of the drift.

The impact of the external world on our relationship can be huge… work issues, family responsibilities, not to mention a current global pandemic!

It can be difficult to negotiate changes in relationships when feelings are running high. Seeking help from a professional can be a great step to take to help you clarify things.

In the initial session I will ask you both what you would like to achieve out of the relationship therapy and where you would like to get to. Even if you both have different expectations, we will work with that. By working on how you communicate with each other is the first step to helping you achieve your goal.

As a therapist I am open, down to earth and warm. I aim to make both of you feel comfortable from the first time we meet, so that you feel free to bring any concerns to the session.

Kathy Hoggart

Online Relationship Counselling

My name is Kathy and I’m a fully qualified and experienced relationship therapist at Online Couples Counselling.

My training and experience in online relationship counselling was achieved through ‘Relate’ where I worked for over twenty years.  I have worked with hundreds of individuals, heterosexual and same-sex couples helping them to achieve change.

In the past I worked as a family mediator, assisting couples come to terms with separation and the practical elements involved. Alongside being involved in mediation between parents and/or young adults experiencing a relationship breakdown.

I have attended many workshops and courses on a variety of subjects, such as Cultural Diversity, Mental Health and Attachment issues. I am committed to continuing my professional development.

My approach to online relationship counselling

Many couples have told me they find me empathic, non-judgemental and easy to work with.  The relationship problems brought to counselling are always varied but no problem is too big or too small. Some of the most common relationship concerns might include poor communication, arguments, loss, an affair or simply growing apart.

I work intuitively with a person-centred focus which means we will work at your pace and from your life perspective.  My aim is to build a rapport between us which will be about confidentiality, good listening, mutual respect and neutrality.  I will provide a comfortable and safe space to talk about the particular aspects you are struggling with.  Hopefully this will enable you to feel confident about sharing your story with me and working through your feelings.

I will support you whilst you try to understand what you need for yourself, and from each other, in order to bring about the desired change.  I will encourage you both to be open and honest. At times, I will reflect back what you tell me so you can begin to see things from the other’s perspective and listen to each other more effectively.  These are small, but important steps in helping break a cycle of behaviour which is having a negative impact on your relationship.

It is important that you both feel comfortable with me. At the end of the first session I will check out how you are feeling and what you hope to achieve from the counselling. We can review this throughout the process.

What to expect

Relationhip counselling is about ensuring that each person feels heard and taken seriously.  I won’t take sides or attribute blame.  I will respect your individual positions and time-manage the session. This will allow you both the opportunity to say what is important to you.

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches but often my work is solution-focused. Together, we can think about what will be most useful for you to achieve your goals.  It is also important to acknowledge how family history might influence patterns of behaviour within your current relationship. This can help you gain insights into how you relate to each other.

I appreciate that it might feel like a difficult journey to undertake, especially when feeling fragile. My job is to help you feel safe while you explore what is happening and why, so that you can look at your options and decide how to move forward.

Ethical standards

I work within the code of ethics and the BACP ethical framework and undertake regular professional development and clinical supervision. I also have up to date professional indemnity insurance.

Kay Doherty

Online Couples Counsellor

My name is Kay Doherty and I am a fully qualified couple counsellor at ‘Online Couples Counselling’.  I have a Higher Diploma in Relationship Counselling and an Externship in ‘Emotionally Focused Therapy’.  I am also a member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).

My specialist area is relationship counselling, offering counselling to both heterosexual and same sex individuals and couples. I feel alive when new couples come with their individual issues, because each couple’s situation is so different. Working alongside couples as they develop a more secure base and a deeper connection with each other is extremely rewarding.

What is Emotionally Focused Relationship Therapy

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) was founded in Canada by Dr. Sue Johnson and is now practised worldwide.  It provides therapists with researched based tools that will enable a couple to feel connected and safe, through secure attachment.  EFT asserts that relationship problems occur when couples have experienced emotional disconnection with their partner  – which, in turn leads to struggles in the relationship. These struggles can develop into negative cycles which are difficult to break.  EFT will support you to get past these cycles, re-connect and build a secure relationship bond together. EFT can also be used to address individual issues.

How an online couple counsellor can help you

During our first session I will I explain how online relationship therapy works. I will also talk about confidentiality and my method of storing files/notes etc answering any questions you might have. This will also be your opportunity to tell me about the issues that you each feel need addressing – from both perspectives. Then together, we will discuss a plan going forward.

As a ‘Person Centered’ counsellor I believe each individual knows exactly what is best for them, on an individual level and within the relationship. Then, with the proper support, I will help you find the ability to heal yourselves.  I consider myself to be non-judgemental and accept people for who they are and how they feel. I understand the need for empathy and will take the time to get to know where you both are in the relationship. By allowing you both the time and space to listen and really ‘hear’ each other will bring great insight into the relationship.

‘Emotionally Focused Therapy’ has equipped me with the skills to assist you in exploring any recurring, negative patterns in your relationship. I will support you in learning new patterns of communicating and help you achieve a healthy, secure bond.

The process of change during our relationship counselling sessions can be transforming; and it will enable you to reach a place where you really ‘get’ each other.  Moving your relationship forward more positively in the way you have chosen to do so.

After the couple therapy ends

I will have helped you develop the skills required to be aware and recognise how a particular behaviour might lead to you slipping back into the negative cycle again.  This will allow you the negative cycle into positive interactions.  You will be able to fully understand each other and feel re connected again. The negative cycle will be replaced with love, understanding and security.

Ethical Standards

I subscribe to and work within the BACP ethical framework.  I regularly partake in professional development, have regular supervision and hold professional indemnity insurance.

Lynn Garbutt

Online Couples Therapy

Hello, my name is Lynn Garbutt and I am a fully qualified Cognitive Behavioural therapist and Couple Counsellor. I hold a PGDip in ‘Cognitive Behavioural Therapy’ (CBT/REBT) and have over five years’ experience in helping both couples and individuals make positive changes in their lives and relationships.

In my experience, it’s common for relationships to go through troubling periods and this can have an impact on the health and happiness of both parties, as well as other family members. When emotions are running high, it can be difficult to appreciate and understand our partners perspective. This it can lead to feelings of hurt, resentment, confusion and loneliness.

My approach to couples therapy

At the beginning of the first session, I will ask you both what you hope to achieve out of the therapy. Whether you would like help to make your relationship work better, or whether you would like help in separating more amicably. Perhaps you are not sure which direction you would like your relationship to take and would like to see how the therapy goes before you decide. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, or if your answers are different, I will help you both work through things in order to find clarity.

The therapeutic relationship between us is of the upmost importance in order for the therapy to be successful in achieving the goal you have set yourselves/self. Therefore, I will strive to build a trusting and empathic relationship with you. I will also tailor my approach to suit your unique situation.

My approach to relationship therapy is down to earth and common-sense and will help you work through your issues step by step. I may draw upon the tools of CBT to gently challenge you both about the negative impact any unhelpful behaviours might be having on the relationship

 

Moving you forward

The vast majority of issues caused in relationships because of poor communication. It is common for couples to claim listen to what the other is saying but they don’t actually ‘hear or understand’ what is being said. I will help you to try and appreciate each other’s point of view in a calm, supportive, non-judgemental space. It’s not about agreeing with each other necessarily, it’s about learning to understand and appreciate your partners point of view.

Together we will work on finding any negative patterns of behaviour (which includes the way you speak to each other) which are impacting your relationship. People are often unaware of how their reactions/behaviours might be having a detrimental effect on their partner. Couples often describe having the same arguments over and over again without understanding how their own actions are contributing to the problems.

I will take an active role during our sessions by helping you both reflect back each other’s perspective. It is also important that you both feel comfortable with me in order to get the best out of each session. The feedback I have received from couples has said that I am warm, perceptive and impartial, so hopefully you will feel relaxed enough to  share your story with me.

Ethical standards

I subscribe to and works within the UKCP Code of Ethics and the BACP Ethical Framework and undertakes regular professional development. Alongside  having professional indemnity insurance.

Irena Campbell

Online Relationship Counselling

Hello, my name is Irena Campbell (usually known as Rainey) and I am a CPCAB (Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body) qualified ‘Integrative Counsellor’ for both couples and individuals. Being an Integrative Therapist means; I am flexible in my approach to ensure the desired outcome is achieved for every couple I see.

I understand that seeking help with your relationship might feel quite daunting. However, I am confident that my warm and relaxed manner will help you both feel at ease very quickly. Whether you are choosing to stay together but would like some help in getting your relationship to a better place. Or whether you would like help in separating amicably. My couple counselling will help you both navigate and negotiate towards a brighter future.

My approach to couple counselling online

The first question I will ask is  ‘what do you hope to get out of the therapy?’ I will then offer you a safe environment in order to promote the required changes so you are able to achieve your goal. Sometimes, couples are unsure about what they want. That’s okay, we will work together to find that out. I will then help the transition and move you forward more positively. I am passionate about what I do and committed to working with you in an empathic, non-judgmental, professional way.

Online relationship counselling will offer you both the opportunity to understand why your relationship might have run into difficulties. As a relationship therapist, I will help you recognise the reasons behind why you are seeking relationship therapy. Then together, we will explore why you might be feeling worn out or overwhelmed in the relationship.

I will gently encourage you both be really honest with each other about how you truly feel and why. I will also identify when you both need alone time.

My work is diverse and have experience working with mixed cultures, same gender relationships and friendships. Any relationship can cause stress and conflict. However, with the right help and support these issues can be resolved.

The benefits of online couple counselling

Couples often seek relationship counselling because of a breakdown in communication, which can happen gradually over a number of years. Because of this breakdown resentment tends to build on one or both sides. Through couple counselling you will learn to understand your own unique way of communicating and also your partners.

It is all too common for couples to ‘talk’ but not tell their partner what they are truly feeling – and expect them to mind read. But when their partner doesn’t or can’t, it can lead to hurt, disappointment or anger. This expectation can cause huge problems in a relationship.

Couple counselling will give you both the opportunity to be ‘heard’ and also hear what your partner is saying, without interruption. By listening and taking turns to speak, it will allow you the time to explore the dynamics in your relationship. It is not about attributing blame. It’s about gaining understanding of the role you both play and then taking responsibility for your part in the relationship that is contributing to it not working as well as you both would like.

I subscribe to work within the BACP ethical framework. Have regular supervision and undertake regular professional development.

Mary Keshavarz

Marriage Counselling Online

Hello, my name is Mary Keshavarz and I am a fully qualified, BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) accredited ‘Integral Psychotherapist’. Integrative therapy means I drawn upon a wide range of techniques and theories based on each individual couple’s needs.

I am also an accredited member of ‘The National Counselling Society (NCS) and a member of the Australia Counselling Association’ (ACA). I am currently working towards a Doctorate to become a Counselling Psychotherapist at the ‘New school of Counselling and Psychotherapy’ (NSPC).

How I can help

Do you experience conflict and difficulty as a couple? It is of course natural for every couple to argue from time to time. However, recurrent conflict, which is unresolved is unproductive and leaves couples experiencing significantly more distress than they need to.

Sometimes individuals/couples have an excessive avoidance of conflict, which can also be a problem in itself. Because this means any problems are left unsaid which in turn can lead to resentment on one or both sides.

I will help you to improve your relationship by helping you to respond to problems and difficulties in ways that bring you closer together, rather than drive you apart. Relationship counselling will also help you to clarify any uncertainty or ambivalence in your relationship, to heal wounds and to better function together as a couple.

As a couple counsellor, I will help you to identify any unhelpful patterns of behaviour, which might be contributing to the relationship issues. Then together, we can work on changes to achieve problem resolution. The relationship counselling process will help to re-establish your connection and bond to one another.

Madeleine Kingsley

Online Relationship Therapy

My name is Madeleine Kingsley and I’m a fully qualified Relate-trained relationship counsellor and member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy). I have 28 years of experience providing therapy for both couples and individuals.

I have written extensively about relationships and family life for newspapers and magazines. Interviewing experts in the field gave me great insight into how we think, feel and interact as couples. I was then inspired to train, share their wisdom and do this transformative work myself.

Relationships

It’s all too easy for the pressures of life – such as raising a family, work tension, issues with in-laws or financial worries – to chip away at intimacy. Stress can also deplete  excitement and that sense of being the soulmates you once were.

Often couples find themselves on shaky ground due to challenging life stages. This might be through the transition to parenthood, family illness, living with teenagers or an empty nest. You might still function as a working team but the emotional connection has stalled and romance has done a runner.

How I can help you

During our online relationship therapy sessions, I will listen attentively to you both. I offer a safe and confidential space to help you work out whether your relationship is just going through a bad patch or if it has, sadly, run its course.

I’m passionate about supporting couples through tough times, towards a brighter but  realistic future. Couples often start out feeling full of love and desire for each other, only to find themselves questioning where the ‘spark’ has gone. My job is to help you restore closeness and remember the strengths that brought you together in the first place.

You may be stuck in a cycle of arguments which you feel unable to resolve. Or perhaps you feel as though you have nothing significant to say to each other anymore. You may think it too risky to raise the issues that divide you for fear of conflict Some couples rub along in a ‘too good to leave, too bad to stay’ state.  They assume this is just what happens when you’ve been together for a while.

I don’t believe that any couple needs to ‘settle’ in a relationship. It may only take some professional relationship counselling to help you re-ignite the spark and set you up for a fresh and closer future.

I won’t judge you or make decisions for you.  Relationship therapy is a shared voyage of exploration. With my help you will come to see your own relationship more clearly, set your own goals and make your own choices.

Moving you forward

My online relationship therapy techniques will help you communicate more effectively. You can start sharing your thoughts and feelings with kindness as well as honesty. My training to work with families, children and young people enables me to see the bigger picture of which you are part.

Unhappy relationships can be vulnerable to affairs which lead to deep hurt and damage.

I won’t try and glue you back together if you feel the infidelity has struck a blow beyond repair and you choose to separate. If that’s the case, I will help you do so with the least possible pain and bitterness.

However, affairs don’t necessarily have to be terminal. I can help lead couples beyond blame, guilt and recrimination. We can explore what precipitated the infidelity in the first place and help you rebuild trust over time.

I work diversely and have experience working with same gender relationships. mixed cultures, families and friendships.

Ethical standards

I subscribe to and work within the BACP code of ethics and ethical framework. I undertake regular professional development to maintain a high level of knowledge and practice and regular supervision with ongoing professional indemnity insurance.

Sian Jones

Marriage Counselling Online

My name is Sian Jones and I’m a fully qualified Relationship Counsellor and founder of ‘Online Couples Counselling’. I hold a BSc (hons) Psychology and have a proven track record in helping hundreds of couples successfully achieve their goals. I also hold a diploma in ‘Psychotherapy’ and ‘Cognitive Behavioural Therapy’ (CBT) which is helpful during my work with couples through understand negative thought patterns.

My career in relationship counselling began over 10 years ago with the opening of our parent company ‘Relationship Counselling Kent’. This is still a successful couple counselling business, based in Kent. Therefore, due to it’s sucess I took the decision to ensure relationship counselling was more widely avaialable to couples across the UK, hence the introduction of ‘Online Couples Counselling’.

How marriage counselling online can help

Professional relationship counselling is highly effective, because an unbiased, third party can help give you both clarity and understanding. When your relationship has run into difficulties, emotions become heightened and it can be difficult to see the wood from the trees. As a result, you might struggle to identify the part you have played individually (often unwittingly) which has contributed to the problems. Therefore, the tendency is to blame your partner.

I take a common sense, step by step approach to online marriage counselling. I will encourage you to work through your problems together by asking relevant questions. This means you will both have the opportunity to open up and explain what isn’t working for you and why. In turn, this allows your partner the opportunity to really listen and try and understand your perspective.

It’s not necessarily about agreeing or even liking each others perspectives, it’s just about understanding them. Neither is it about attributing blame to either of you, it’s about gaining a proper understanding of how the other person feels and why. Because, in my experience, when an ‘understanding’ is reached, it goes a long way in removing any hurt, resentment or anger that may have built up over the years. Therefore, allowing you to move forward more postively, in whichever way you choose.

The feedback I receive is that I have an exceptional ability to make couples feel quickly at ease. Because, I am aware that when people feel more comfortable, they find it easier to open-up and communicate more effectively.

Rest assured, I won’t sit there silently waiting for you to speak. I will take an active part in the conversation and the process of recovery and change. Read my reviews

I hold a certificate in ‘Counselling and Psychotherapy’ and a Diploma in ‘Psychosexual and Relationship therapy’. My training is accredited by Middlesex University in London and I’m a registered member of COSRT (College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists).

How relationship therapy online can help

I believe that everybody’s situation is unique. Whether you are in a couple or you are seeking therapy on your own. I will use the relevant tools and methods based on your individual needs. I will support you to overcome any issues and help you achieve the goals you have set. Whether that is to enrich your relationship or to find a way to separate as amicably as possible.

I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental and warm space. We will work together, for as long as you need. With the security of knowing that everything we discuss is treated with the genuine respect and in confidence.

My aim it to build rapport as quickly as possible, so hopefully you find it easier to open up and disclose the intimate aspects of your life. I understand that you are the expert of your life whilst I am the facilitator to hold and support you whilst you explore and navigate your way through your challenges.

How I work

My approach is ‘integrative’. This means I use different approaches, theories and tools that suit each person or couples needs. I use the ‘Person-Centered Approach’ when I feel you need to lead the way, which provides you with empathetic, non-judgmental space with unconditional positive regard.

The use of ‘Attachment Theory’ is beneficial in helping to build a stronger bond between partners, by looking back at the impact of childhood on current relationships. I may incorporate ‘Cognitive Behavioural Therapy’ (CBT) which helps individuals develop alternative ways of thinking and behaving that might be causing psychological distress. CBT helps to change negative thoughts or beliefs into more positive/rational ones.

Through the use of different communication tools and techniques I will help your find a way to communicate more effectively. Whilst ensuring you both feel heard and understood correctly.  I may also use some psychosexual exercises and methods, to support my work, for any areas of sexual dysfunction a couple might be experiencing.

My experience

Tim Gilbert

Online Marriage Counselling

Hello there. My name is Tim Gilbert and I am a couples, individual and family counsellor at Online Couples Counselling. I  have over 8 years experience and hold a Diploma in Relationship Counselling and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. I’m also BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered.

Problems in relationships can be caused by a variety of different reasons. Therefore, in order for you to get the most out of the therapy, I will use an ‘integrative approach’. This will be from either a Systemic or Psychodynamic perspective. This means, I will explore what is happening ‘now’ in the couple relationship and develop an understanding of how our upbringing and past experiences define our relationships.

As individuals we are affected by our internal makeup and by external influences. For example, our upbringing, social experiences and how these affect our emotions, feelings and beliefs. Therefore, approaches to therapy are influenced by these two models in terms of what has happened in the past and what is going on in the present to yourself and as a couple.

My approach to relationship therapy

I understand that taking the decision to book marriage therapy might feel quite daunting. So, with this in mind, my approach is both empathetic and supportive. I will help you quickly feel at ease, listened to and most importantly understood. During the relationship counselling process, we will explore the problems at hand in order to develop a holistic and comprehensive understanding of your unique situation.

Relationship counselling usually employs a process of change. Therefore, it’s important that you both feel valued and respected whilst working through what that change may look like in your scenario. I will encourage you to determine your desired outcome. Then, through the building of bridges, help you develop positive communication paths so you are able to move forward. This process will not only improve self- esteem, it will also allow respective voices to be heard.

Perhaps you are worried that there is a possibility of separation or maybe there are disputes within the family unit. My easy-going approach will enable you to be heard and empowered in order to reach a more positive resolution going forward.

My experience

During our work together at I will help you gain a better understanding of each other’s perspectives. This will be achieved through a calm, non-accusatory, therapeutic process. A process where you will both have a voice and be able to work through your relationship issues together for a sustainable outcome.

I work diversely and have experience working with same gender relationships. mixed cultures, families and friendships.

Ethical standards

I subscribe to and work within the BACP code of ethics and ethical framework. I undertake regular professional development to maintain a high level of knowledge and practice and regular supervision. My professional indemnity insurance is up to date.

Trish Mayne

Online Relationship Therapy

Hello, my name is Trish Mayne and I am a fully qualified ‘Relate’ trained couple counsellor, offering online relationship therapy for both couples and individuals.

For as long as I can remember I have had an interest in the way people communicate. Relationships are based around communication, whether that is with your partner, parents, children, colleagues and friends.

Our interaction with others can bring great joy and fulfilment. However, there are times when we all struggle with relationships. We change, others change and circumstances change. You and those around you can be left feeling confused and unhappy.

Maybe there is a relationship crisis in your life. It could be that your relationship is feeling unfulfilled. You may be unsure about the future together. You may want to prepare your relationship for a big life event you know is coming, such as becoming a parent or marriage.  It can be very difficult to find a place where you feel as if someone is really listening to you. This is where I, as a Relationship counsellor, can help.

My background

I began my career as a nurse within the NHS. This gave me the foundation to communicate with people of all ages when they were at their most vulnerable and needed support. I am also a qualified midwife and health visitor so I understand the physical and emotional changes that occurred when a couple were starting out as parents.

Personal expectations are challenged when a child comes into the family, and sometimes things are not as you were expecting them to be.  I have been privileged to gain the trust of many people I have worked with. Many feel better knowing they don’t have to be perfect.  It has been fulfilling to help people increase their self-belief and confidence.

I spent many years working with young parents, helping them to understand healthy relationships and have fulfilling attachments with their baby/ children.  I have used my knowledge of child development and psychology along the way.

My work with Relate over a number of years has been both face to face and online. I have worked with couples seeking help for relational problems such as: Wider family conflict; intimacy issues; infidelity or affairs; the loss of romance or excitement; mental and physical ill health affecting the relationship – to name but a few.

I also have counselling work experience with couples where one partner has recently been released from prison, successfully helping them to re-establish their relationship with their partner and children.

I strongly believe that listening is the key to understanding and I feel my varied work expertise brings a rounded understanding of people of all ages, all walks of life and in all sorts of situations.

Online relationship therapy

I will give you respect understanding, empathy and support. Whether you come as a couple or an individual. I will bring a warm, relaxed approach which will put you at ease and I aim to give you a feeling of being in control during our work together.

Sometimes we lose the skill of listening and understanding to what our partner is saying. I will give you space to explore your thoughts and feelings and think about how this affects your relationship.  You will need a space where there is equal time to think and speak.

My approach to your individual situation will be neutral and without judgement.  Along the way, I may challenge you if appropriate, or offer the odd suggestion. I won’t attempt to ‘fix ‘your relationship or tell you want you should or shouldn’t be thinking or feeling. Instead, I will sit with you while you are trying to make sense of your experience.

I hope that you will end your counselling with me feeling you have more control and understanding of your relationship.

Ethical standards

I subscribe and work within the UKCP code of ethics and the BACP ethical framework and undertake regular professional development and clinical supervision. I also have up to date professional indemnity insurance.

Jo Walmsley

Marriage Counselling Online

My name is Jo and I’m a fully qualified therapist and couple counsellor accredited by the NCS (National Counselling Society) at Online Couples Counselling.

I am a professionally trained ‘Integrative Counsellor’ which means I take combined approach to therapy. This means I bring together different elements of specific therapies. Integrative therapists take the view that there is no single approach that can treat everyone in all situations.

I have vast experience in couple counselling as well as being a clinical supervisor. I will provide support to rebuild, repair and re-bond you relationship. Or sometimes if required, I will help facilitate the end of a relationship as amicably as possible.

My background/experience

I’ve experienced a variety of issues during my time as a therapist, achieved through private practice, agency work along with five years working within the NHS IAPT (improved access to psychological therapies)

My extensive knowledge and understanding has highlighted the importance of effective communication within relationships. Alongside understanding the impact problems such as sexual desire or dysfunction, long term health conditions, domestic abuse, anxiety, depression or anger can have on relationships. I have seen and heard most things, so I’m not easily shocked or embarrassed, so there is nothing taboo..If you need to talk about it then I’m here to listen.

How I can help

At the core of any successful therapy is the relationship between counsellor and the individual. Therefore, I strive to build a trusting and empathic relationship with you.

At Online Couples Counselling I provide a safe, confidential space to talk through your issues together. Helping you to understand how you’re past events and experiences may be responsible for your current beliefs and behaviour.

We may not always be aware; but sometimes our beliefs become unhealthy or may even be incorrect, which can lead to unhealthy behaviours filtering into the relationship. We are all influenced by our early years and the people around us. Therefore, it can be helpful to understand our partner’s history as well as understanding our own.

By helping you to understand yourselves, alongside finding more healthy ways of communicating, you will be equipped with the tools to make the most of your future and find happiness once again in your relationship.

I will tailor my work to suit your individual situation. I am a trained life coach so may use these skills alongside the therapy to help you manage life, maximise your potential and achieve your goals.

About me

If you are considering sharing your thoughts and emotions with me, it feels right to share a little of myself with you.  I’m just a pretty “normal” kind of person with a sarcastic sense of humour and a few battle wounds of my own.

I also struggle with my own issues some days but I get through them with a smile and a few expletives! #counsellorwhoswears. I love to laugh and always try to find a positive in every situation. However, it hasn’t always been this way. I have also had difficult times in my life when I thought I would never laugh again but I came through them. My own experiences give me the passion to help you through your difficult times.

Ethical Standards

I subscribe to and work within the BACP and NCS code of ethics and ethical framework. Additionally, I undertake regular professional development and supervision as well as having professional indemnity insurance.

Sherene Charles

Couples Therapy Online

Hello, and welcome. My name is Sherene Charles and I am a fully qualified and experienced individual and couple’s therapist at Online Couples Counselling. I am Senior Accredited with ‘The National Counselling Society’ (NCS) and the’ Infant Loss Foundation’ I am also a member of the ‘British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy’ (BACP).

As a qualified clinical supervisor, my work also involves providing support for other therapists, to help them work effectively with their clients. I am passionate about helping others navigate their way through the stress of everyday life, which is the reason I became a therapist. I find it rewarding supporting others and desire to help people to live their best life yet.

Why couples therapy online?

Generally, couples seek help with their relationship because they want relief from their pain and distress. Unfortunately, more often than not, it is when they have reached breaking point and their relationship is on fire. Sometimes, people find it difficult to admit to themselves that there is a problem in their relationship; let alone to their partner; silently hoping that if they ignore the issues, they will resolve themselves and go away.

However, in my experience, this is rarely the case. Because by and choosing to ignore the signs, it can be extremely detrimental to both parties. I believe, if you are concerned about your relationship, you will certainly benefit from relationship counselling. Or even if your relationship is ‘okay’ but you would like it to be ‘great’ then couples counselling can help you achieve that.

I feel privileged to be able to provide support for couples, who are often worn out by the same unresolved issues. Which, when left to fester, creates a sense of going around the same old mountain and resentment begins to build. Online couple therapy will provide you the opportunity to review your relationship in a safe and confidential environment. I will allow you the time and space to appreciate any aspects of your relationship that are working well and help you clearly identify any areas of improvement.

What to expect​

Laughter provides great benefit; it’s like medicine – but without the side effects. Therefore, humour is a key ingredient during my relationship counselling sessions. Along with offering you both warmth, challenge, empathy and compassion. I continually aspire to providing a safe setting that will enable you both the courage to examine what has gone in the past, which might have led you to this point. I will gently encourage you to face any deep fears and help you explore your hopes for the future.

During the first therapy session I will explain how the marriage counselling works. There will be an opportunity for you both to ask questions. I will ask for some basic information about you and we will complete an assessment together. This assessment enables me to gather any important information and establish your needs in order to find the best way for me to support you. It is also an opportunity for you to gain a sense of how I work. Alongside ensuring you feel comfortable with me and feel that I am the right therapist for you.

I gain great satisfaction and fulfilment in supporting couples as they courageously take steps towards moving forward more positively – in whichever way they choose.

Ethical Standards

I subscribe to and work within the BACP ethical framework. I also undertake regular professional development and supervision as well as having professional indemnity insurance.

Sally Cloke

Relationship Counselling Online

Hello, my name is Sally Cloke and I am an experienced, BACP accredited integrative therapist and couple counsellor at Online Couples Counselling.

Sometimes couples view couple counselling as last resort. That’s because they may have been experiencing ongoing difficulties for a long time and  have reached a point where they are considering separation.

Alternatively, couples feel unsure that marriage counselling is the right path for them. In my experience, a vast majority of couples find it a positive experience. Often reporting, that they wished they had started couple therapy many months /years before.

People seek help with their relationship for a variety of reasons. A vast majority of couples are hoping to make their relationship work better than it currently is. In which case, relationship counselling online is highly successful. That is if both parties are willing to ‘really’ listen to their partner.  I will emphasise the importance of each seeing his or her contributions to the problems and the possible solutions going forward.

Other couples seek couple therapy for help in separating. If so, I will help you do so more amicably. Alternatively, some couples are not quite sure what they hope to achieve and will decide later, that’s also OK. I will tailor the sessions for what you are both hoping to achieve, even if you are unsure.

How I can help

My aim is to provide you and your partner with a safe and confidential setting to help you explore and progress your relationship. Regardless of your age, race, religious beliefs, gender identity or sexual orientation. I consider myself understanding and empathetic and I work with the ‘relationship’ rather than the individuals in an accepting and non-judgmental way.

I will help you improve the communication between you, effectively creating curiosity and support, rather than conflict. We will work together to help you to understand how you, and your partner. can express your individuality while simultaneously supporting your relationship. This is the art of differentiation. Once you’ve passed through the “we” of the romantic stage, successful differentiation is the key to an authentic and fulfilling longer-term relationship.

Common relationship issues include –

• Misunderstandings and tensions resulting from differences in viewpoints
• Experiencing a range of feelings including; resentment, anger, and anxiety
• A lack of trust or loss of connection
• Lack of intimacy
• Infidelity
• Difficulties arising with other family members

Lorna Ashley

Online Relationship Counselling

My name is Lorna Ashley and I’m a qualified integrative counsellor at Online Couples Counselling. Integrative therapy means I’m flexible in the way I work and use the best possible approach to achieve the outcome you choose.

Whether you decide that you want to stay together or want help in separating, my aim is to promote a positive transition for change, fulfilment and self-awareness.

I have extensive experience in both individual and relationship counselling. I’m also a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

My online relationship counselling experience

I have been practicing for a number of years both in private practice and for two charitable organisations, where my work focusses on bereavement and suicide. I am also clinical lead supervisor which means I advise other counsellors with elements of their work.

About relationships

Life happens and it’s not always kind. The things we thought we had a handle on and believed we could cope with, can suddenly seem uncertain, confusing and overwhelming. We might experience thoughts and feelings which leave us feeling unable to make sense of it all. Your inner world can be very different to your external world. How you feel you have to be seen or heard can lead to conflicting emotions within your relationship.

Very few relationships are conflict-free. When one of our most important relationship begins to falter, our health and happiness often suffers. Whilst many couples might try and work through their problems alone, it’s difficult when emotions are running high. Therefore, it can be incredibly useful to seek outside professional help.

How I can help

Together we will look at what lies behind the current difficulties from both your perspectives by paying attention both to the past and the present. In order to bring about change you desire.

My role at Online Couples Counselling is to facilitate change and resolution by helping you both communicate more effectively and reach your own conclusions under the guidance of a professional.

Whatever your age, background, race or culture, you are not alone. Together we can go walk the journey and explore what could be going on for you both. Being heard and talking freely in a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space can be incredibly empowering in understanding who you are and how you can be more true to you within your relationship, whilst navigating your own path for growth and development.

I am passionate in what I do and committed to working ethically and safely with my clients to overcoming the challenges that we are presented with.

Ethical standards

I subscribe to and work within the BACP ethical framework alongside undertaking regular professional development and supervision. I also hold professional indemnity insurance.
