Online Relationship Counselling in Cheltenham

Entirely private, and being outside the town helps. There is no building to be seen entering, no shared waiting area, and no chance of recognising the person after you. Sessions are confidential within the usual professional limits, which are explained plainly at the first call.

One fee covers the appointment however many of you attend. An hour is £80, 90 minutes £100, and two hours £120. Couples generally choose 90 minutes, since two people rarely finish what they need to say inside sixty. That first 15-minute call, before anything at all is arranged, costs you nothing.

Let's Talk, the Gloucestershire NHS Talking Therapies service, takes self-referrals without a GP appointment, though it is set up for anxiety and depression rather than couples work specifically. Waiting times vary. Many people use it for their own low mood while doing relationship work separately.

It can, and it comes up here more than elsewhere. The work does not need the content of anyone's job. What matters is the effect: the unexplained moods, the questions that cannot be answered, the guessing that one of you has been doing for years.

That happens often. You might have four or five sessions by yourself while your partner decides, and they can join at any point without starting from the beginning. Nobody is pressed into attending, and pressure applied at home tends to make the work harder anyway.

Very. Meeting by secure video means no local waiting room and no premises to be seen visiting, and you both join from home. The counselling room is in Hove, so Cheltenham couples are seen online rather than anywhere in the town.

Most Cheltenham couples get going within a week or two, since there is no local waiting list. A free 15-minute call comes first, then we book a full session together. With the room in Hove, Cheltenham is served online by secure video wherever you both are.

Relationship work here is private rather than NHS funded. Sessions are £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 minutes and £120 for two hours, with a free 15-minute consultation first. Cheltenham couples can also seek NHS Talking Therapies in Gloucestershire through a GP, though many prefer to start privately without a wait.

Yes. Because sessions are online, one partner can join from Montpellier and the other from work or away, which suits Cheltenham couples juggling commuters and staff linked to GCHQ. Some evening appointments help those tied up in the day. The room is in Hove, so we meet by secure video wherever you both are.
