What is relationship counselling?
Relationship counselling — also called couples therapy or marriage counselling — is a talking therapy that gives you and your partner a safe, neutral space to understand what is happening between you, improve how you communicate, and work through difficulties together. A counsellor helps both partners feel heard and supports you to decide what you want for your relationship.
At Ready Health, sessions are £50 per hour with Lisa, our relationship counsellor, at our clinic in Standish — serving Wigan, Chorley and the surrounding areas. You can attend as a couple or individually, with no referral needed and no waiting list.
You don't have to work it out alone
When relationship counselling can help
Every relationship goes through difficult patches. Counselling can help whether you are facing a specific crisis or simply feel stuck and want things to be better. Couples and individuals often come to us when they are:
Struggling to communicate
Conversations turn into arguments, or you've stopped really talking to each other at all.
Arguing about the same things
The same conflicts keep coming back and you can't seem to break the cycle.
Rebuilding trust
An affair, a betrayal or a broken promise has shaken your sense of trust.
Feeling distant
Intimacy, closeness or connection has faded and you feel more like flatmates.
Navigating change
A new baby, blended family, illness, money worries or a big move has put you under strain.
At a crossroads
You're unsure whether to stay together, and want help thinking it through calmly.

What happens in a relationship counselling session?
Your session is an unhurried hour in a calm, private space. Lisa stays neutral, gives both partners room to speak, and helps you understand each other and the patterns that get in the way, so you can find a kinder way forward.
How many sessions will we need?
There is no set number. Some couples notice a difference after a few sessions, while others value ongoing support over a longer period. You stay in control of how often you come and when you feel ready to finish.
Can relationship counselling help if we're considering separating?
Yes. Counselling isn't only about staying together. It can give you a calm, supported space to think things through honestly and, if you do decide to part, to do so more amicably — especially where children are involved.

Reaching out is often the hardest part. Whenever you feel ready, Lisa is here to help you talk, listen and move forward — in a warm, private space close to home.
