Couple Counselling that's better — yet affordable.

We'd better talk!


BetterTalk offers a different approach to many of the couples counselling services out there: We focus on solutions. We have no agenda — we're entirely guided but what the couple wants. But a couple is made up of two individuals! So our job is to help you discover what you do want, in the course of a calm, respectful and detailed conversation where everyone is heard equally.


We're also interested in getting to know you both therapeutically, so where a couple feel it's appropriate, we like to meet you individually for some 1:1 therapy sessions — where we'll work through anything that may be preventing you as individuals in your relationship from interacting the way you could — or perhaps once did. (If this interests you, please see BetterTalk Couples Counselling With Individual Therapy below.) 


Our focus is always on how you would prefer your relationship to be — and how you can get there. 


We have an optimistic approach, and most people will find counselling a healing process; but it can also be painful to uncover certain things about oneself, so we move forward in a slow, reassuring way.  Our evidence-based approach is shaped by Gottman couples counselling research and practice,  Solution Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (influenced by Attachment Theory) and Interpersonal Neurobiology. 


Why BetterTalk means Affordability:


  • Prices from £49.99/hour
  • Discounted packages
  • No costly contracts 
  • Full 60-minute sessions
  • Availability 10 a.m - 8 p.m., 7 days a week


Offering you high-quality counselling at the lowest possible cost is core to what we do. Couples counselling in the UK typically costs £60-100/hour, with the average 2026 price being £75*, and it's not unusual for couples to need 6-10 sessions. Our prices are significantly lower than that, because offering you packages keeps our costs low —  and we pass those savings on to you. BetterTalkUK offers sessions from just £49.99/hour. So you can see why we believe BetterTalk offers unbeatable value. 


BetterTalkUK will never try to lock you into expensive, inconvenient monthly contracts, the way many others do. With us, you buy one of our great-value packages, or choose to pay as you go. What's more, sessions with BetterTalk last a full sixty minutes, not the 50-min so-called "Therapy Hour" that's often standard elsewhere.


Your initial, trial couples therapy costs just £49.99 — a £17 discount on our standard 60-minute single session. This initial assessment session may run well over 60 minutes, but we'll only charge you for one hour — another example of BetterTalk's great value and commitment to our clients. 


(Please note, we aim to offer low-cost online counselling 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. on weekdays, and at selected times at weekends. To reflect service provision outside our normal working hours, weekday evening sessions 6.00-8.00 p.m. do carry a 10% higher fee, and over the weekend a 20% increase applies.) 



Couples Counselling With Individual Therapy: our unique offer — just £55.50/hour


Your life; your personal needs and goals; and the goals of the couple



BetterTalk's Integrated Individual & Couples Therapy is a specialist approach for which we are particularly known. Couple counselling at BetterTalk starts with your shared trial session of 60 minutes for just £49.99. If you then join our Couples Counselling With Individual Therapy package, you'll have a chance to go deep in your search to understand your relationship and your personal role within it.  Your package begins with one further hour of couple counselling, followed by three weekly hours of individual therapy for each of you, then a last couple session. At £55.50/hour, the price is almost £20 below the UK average for couple counselling sessions. This eight-hour package costs £444.00. 

 

  • Week 1: A one-hour couple counselling session
  • Weeks 2-5:  Three hours of individual therapy for Partner 1
  • Weeks 2-5: Three hours of individual therapy for Partner 2
  • Week 6: Another couple session


This split-format, couple-plus-individual approach allows us to meet the partners jointly and separately.  We believe it is important that both people in a relationship are open to exploring their own needs in depth. People are sometimes able to feel heard better in one-to-one sessions, and are better able to understand themselves, too. This can lead to the shared sessions being significantly deeper and more effective.


At just ££55.50 per hour, this package is remarkable value — for mature, exploratory counselling that takes you really seriously, both within your relationship, and as an individual.


Note: Within a package, individual & couples sessions can be swapped around upon request. 


  • On completion of your package, you can renew for eight sessions, or purchase a six-session package. Other packages/single sessions are also available.
  • Sometimes, after a package, one or other partner decides to stay in individual therapy if they are finding the process fruitful, and we are happy to arrange that.


For all our sessions and packages, please see below.

At BetterTalk, affordability is part of our ethical mission

  • At BetterTalk, we see it as part of our ethical mission to offer genuinely affordable online  therapy. We are committed to avoiding the practise of locking clients into long-term contracts, which is a business model for many online therapy providers. Cheap therapy by competent practitioners cannot be offered without external funding, charity status etc. — but our rates are genuinely low by UK standards (and we offer even lower rates to those who are unwaged or on health benefits, as well as students). 
  • At BetterTalk we do not work within the so-called "therapy hour", which means a fifty-minute session. With us, an hour means an hour  — our sessions last 60 minutes.  That's 20% better value than a standard counselling session that lasts only 50 mins!
  • If you are trying to find an affordable online therapist, with a highly flexible fee structure, we believe we offer the best value therapy anywhere in the UK.

Couple Counselling before moving in together or marriage

Yes, we love each other, but could there be sticky times ahead? 


In reality — some discord at some time or other is inevitable, even in the happiest relationship. Are you both equipped to deal with it?


We regularly receive requests from couples who want some counselling before they move in together, or marry — and in our opinion, this is a great idea. Counselling before these major emotional and practical commitments should improve mutual understanding and help resolve communication difficulties, which can make a real difference going forward. 


Our approach is based on self-awareness, which we believe to be the key to successful relationships. 


We offer you an eight-session Couple Counselling with Individual Therapy package (cost: £399.99)*. Individual therapy will allow you to gain insights into why you may occasionally behave in a spiky or impatient way towards your partner, and should help you to change those instinctive behaviours.  


We may not realise it, but we've often picked up a lot of problematic communication habits from influential figures in our lives, and from earlier conflicts and traumas. Successful therapy will help these elements to be much less influential in our lives. We will gain a clearer picture of who we are. We will begin to recognize some of the emotional burdens we are carrying. We will become more secure. We will become more skilled at understanding the concept of 'boundaries' — how to apply them, and when we should become more emotionally porous, too. Can we identify when we are being empathetic? Can we become more empathetic? 


As a result of this inner work, we will become less likely to flare up when our partner accidentally steps on one of our buried emotional landmines! Less touchiness, better mutual understanding — that is the goal. 


Getting married and moving in together are demanding and sometimes expensive undertakings. In the opinion of BetterTalk, preparing yourselves emotionally for your life together may be the most valuable expenditure of all.



* Your 8-session package will consist of 2 couples sessions, plus 3 individual therapy sessions per person (total 8 sessions). This package is proceeded by the 60-minute assessment session costing £49.99.  

Couples Counselling --

  • Seeks to overcome conflict and heal relationship wounds, creating space for renewal. 
  • Fosters mutual understanding and deeper self-knowledge. 
  • Aims to strengthen communication and trust, and help love to thrive again.

Kindness during disagreement speaks louder than perfect communication.
