Our Plymouth-based couples counselling and psychotherapy provide a safe, confidential and supportive space where you can explore your challenges and the root causes of your struggles. By understanding how these issues impact your life, we can develop personalised strategies to help you overcome them. Our experienced Plymouth counsellors are here to provide the support you need, tailored to your unique circumstances.

Couples Counselling

Relationships can be challenging and it can be tough when they falter. Whether you're facing communication issues, infidelity, the uncertainty of separation or simply feeling lost, our specialists can help. We'll work together to understand the underlying issues, explore how past events may be influencing your current situation, and help guide you towards healthier ways to navigate your relationship.

Approaches to therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy - Emphasises the importance of the unconscious mind and past experiences in explaining current behaviour and emotions. 

Integrative - Where several distinct modes of counselling and psychotherapy are combined to address an individual’s problems in a personalised way. 

Person-centred - A non-judgemental way of working whereby the counsellor gives you the floor to explore challenging emotions in your own preferred way, creating the right conditions for increasing self-awareness and reaching your fullest potential.

Humanistic - Encourages you to take responsibility for their thoughts and actions, with a focus on developing a stronger, more holistic idea of one’s true self as a way of moving past certain challenging issues. 

Relational - Where your therapist prioritises your ways of relating to other people as a route into understanding the problems in your life.

Transactional Analysis - Helps you understand the exact way in which you communicate with others to develop a clearer understanding of your behaviours and emotions.
