My clients and I work together to address a wide range of relationship difficulties, including trust, intimacy, affairs — virtual or physical — conflict, whether hot or cold, parenting, and the pressures that can arise from extended family relationships.

I am a specialist online couple counsellor working with clients across the world who want not simply to resolve current difficulties, but to build a more resilient relationship that can recover from setbacks and become stronger.

I work online because my clients often have busy personal and professional lives, sometimes spanning different countries, cultures and time zones. Working online gives us greater flexibility in finding session times that fit around work and family life, and time differences can sometimes make scheduling easier rather than harder.

You only pay for the first session if you choose to continue working with me. This gives you both the opportunity to decide whether you feel comfortable working with me and whether the tools and concepts I use make sense to you.

You choose your hourly rate between £40 and £140. I work this way because it is difficult at the outset to know how many sessions will be needed, and I do not want the cost of counselling itself to become an additional source of difficulty. I never question the rate my clients choose.

Working with couples in an ethical and effective way requires fundamentally different training and experience to that required for individual work. With a post graduate qualification (MA) in Relationship Therapy and over fifteen years' experience couples find my approach engaging, practical and effective (see below), read more Client Experiences on my website:  www.onlinecouplecounselling.com

"We had attended couple counselling before, our experience with Andrew was different, we feel so much more confident and optimistic about our future together! We gained new relationship skills and self-awareness through Andrew's straightforward tools and concepts that we applied between sessions and continue to use. His genuine commitment to making us experts in our relationship has empowered us to resolve issues independently. The value we received in terms of improvements in our relationship, as well as in our wider personal and professional lives, is beyond our expectations. Thank you."

As an accredited couple counsellor who has also developed tools and concepts, being used by other professionals around the world, I have devoted myself to helping couples through one of the most difficult periods of their lives. â€‹

You only pay for the first session if you choose to continue to work with me. I do it that way as I think its so important to make sure you sense there is a good fit between each one of you and me. Trying before buying is the best way to achieve that imo. 

Do get in contact if you have any questions.

Session 1: 

We do two things:

• You each answer the following question: If it were our last session and we were talking about how your relationship had changed, what would you hope to say?

• You start to learn how to use the Rainbow Map tool to develop your Reflective/Reactive Brain/Body self-awareness, which provides a foundation for the rest of our work together.

Homework: Use the Rainbow Map and learn more about the jargon-free Reflective/Reactive Brain/Body model on which it is based.  

Session 2

We review the Reflective/Reactive Brain/Body model, your self-awareness progress, and fine-tune your Rainbow Maps.

Following that, we will develop a genogram to describe your family structure.

Your homework is to read a short piece on resources and reconditioning and to continue improving your Reflective/Reactive Brain/Body self-awareness.

Session 3

We review your self-awareness progress. It is not uncommon for clients to start experimenting with resource refinement and generation by this time.

Sessions 4-7

We proceed carefully from less to more sensitive issues, guided by your heightened capacity for self-awareness, resource generation, and activation.

Review your original Best Hopes from the first session to refine and add to them based on the relationship-oriented conversations you are having during and between sessions.

If some issues prove difficult to resolve, we would discuss whether engaging in the Legacy Behaviour and Values Experience might be helpful. This typically adds three to six additional sessions to the work we do together.

Sessions 8-15

Moving toward one to two sessions per month, then once every three months, before ending our work together. These sessions focus on how your self-awareness, resources and outcomes cycle can be fine-tuned and become an ingrained aspect of your relationship.
