Online couples therapy
Online couples therapy is the same 45-minute work delivered by video, wherever you are in the world. You can join together from one room or separately from two, which is often what makes it possible at all. The number of sessions is agreed at your consultation.
The method is the same one we use in Glasgow, Ayr and Liverpool — it is set out in full on the Couples & Relationship Therapy page.
Who it is for
When getting to a room is the problem.
Online is not a lesser version of this. For a lot of couples it is the only version that actually happens.
- You work different shifts and are rarely free at the same time
- One of you travels, or works away during the week
- There are children asleep upstairs and no way to both leave
- You live somewhere without a therapist within a sensible drive
- You would rather do this at home than in a waiting room
- You have tried to book something in person twice and life moved it both times
The structure
Three steps.
30-minute initial consultation
Individual therapy plan, each session lasting 45 minutes
A whole new you!
What you need
Three practical things.
Not equipment — conditions. These are what make the difference between a session that works and one spent apologising for interruptions.
A door that closes
A private space for each of you. The single most common reason an online session does not land is that one person could be overheard and quietly stopped saying the real thing.
Forty-five uninterrupted minutes
Blocked out the way you would block out the trip to an office. The hour is the same. It is only the travel that has gone.
A device you can put down
Propped rather than held. A laptop or tablet at eye level lets you both be seen properly, which matters more between two people than it does one to one.
The work itself
Set out in full on the main page.
The session structure, what happens step by step, who couples therapy is for and the questions people usually ask are all on the Couples & Relationship Therapy page. It is the same work, on video.

Questions
About working online.
Yes, and plenty of couples do — one at home, one away for work. It sometimes helps: two people who each have their own space can be more direct than two people sharing a laptop.
It is the same work, and for many couples it is the version that actually happens week after week. What it needs is privacy and an uninterrupted 45 minutes. Given those, very little is lost.
No. You will be sent a link before your session and you join from a browser. There is nothing to install and nothing to set up in advance.
Yes. Some couples do the consultation online and the sessions in Glasgow, Ayr or Liverpool, and some move the other way when a week gets busy.
Anywhere. Online therapy runs worldwide by video, Tuesday to Friday between 11am and 8pm UK time, with the final appointment before closing.
