At UKCN, we are committed to offering affordable couples therapy without compromising on quality.
Couples Therapy vs. Individual Therapy
In couples counselling, the relationship is the client – not just the individuals. Rather than focusing only on one partner’s problems, we explore:
- How each partner contributes to relational patterns
- How external factors (stress, family, work) impact your dynamic
- How to create new patterns of connection and resilience together
This holistic focus often leads to breakthroughs that individual therapy alone cannot achieve.
Types of Couples Therapy We Offer
Our therapists draw from multiple theoretical backgrounds, allowing them to tailor therapy approaches that best fit your situation. Depending on your needs, your therapist might integrate:
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Integrative Behavioural Couples Therapy (IBCT)
- Systemic Therapy Models
Each approach is designed to strengthen bonds, improve communication, and foster deeper intimacy.
What to Expect in Couples Therapy Sessions
During sessions, your therapist will:
- Ask questions to understand you both individually and as a couple
- Help you identify patterns that cause conflict or disconnection

At every step, your therapist will collaborate with you, ensuring therapy moves at a pace comfortable for both partners.
