Couples Relationship Counselling Service
“The counsellor helped us define an adult relationship and build techniques to deal with challenges and changes in our relationship. Having been sceptical that the process would be helpful, we were pleasantly surprised to realise it had been the best decision we made”.
Accessing Couples Relationship Counselling
We run a small, reduced-rate relationship counselling service for couples.
What to Expect
It is possible to attend this service for up to 6 months although people may choose to come for less than this.
The range of difficulties that precipitate a couple seeking help are very broad. Our couples counsellors will work flexibly to facilitate you in whatever way is most helpful.
Areas of focus might be:
Marital/Relationship problems or disharmony
Conflict resolution
Communication difficulties
Affairs
Booking an Assessment
Please telephone us on 020 8998 3361 to enquire about current timings and availability. We will run through some initial questions with a view to setting up an assessment appointment with one of our couples counsellors, or we can place you on the waiting list if there is no-one currently available.
Unfortunately, we are unable to deal with referrals from social services and legal matters involving court reports.
Payment for Couples Counselling Assessment
The Assessment Fee is a fixed cost of £40 per couple.
There is a concessionary rate for those in receipt of state benefits as the only source of income: £30 for couples if one is on benefits; or £20 if both are on benefits.

Counselling Fee Sliding Scale
EACS relies greatly on contributions, donations and other forms of funding in order to carry out its work. We ask for a weekly contribution based on a sliding scale: the suggested guideline is £1 fee per £1,000 of annual earnings which you can discuss with your counsellor at your initial assessment. If there are extenuating circumstances there is scope to reduce the fee scale.
There is a concessionary rate of £20 for those on state benefits as the only source of income.
