Relationship Counselling in Croydon
Relationships can go through difficult periods for many different reasons. You may be struggling to communicate, experiencing recurring difficulties or simply feel that something within your relationship needs attention. Having a confidential space to talk can give you an opportunity to explore what is happening without judgement.
Care To Listen provides affordable relationships counselling in Croydon for individuals and couples seeking accessible, professional support. As a registered counselling charity, we offer low-cost relationship therapy through a diverse team of qualified and trainee counsellors.
You can access counselling for relationship difficulties in person at our Addiscombe practice in Croydon or online via a secure platform. Whether you are seeking support individually or considering couples counselling, an initial assessment gives you an opportunity to discuss your circumstances and find out more about the services available.
Counselling for Relationship Difficulties
Relationship difficulties can be complex and personal. Counselling gives you dedicated time to explore the thoughts, feelings, experiences and patterns that are important to you.
You may already have a clear idea of what you want to discuss, or you may simply know that your relationship does not feel as you would like it to. Counselling for relationship difficulties provides a confidential setting in which you can begin exploring those concerns with the support of a counsellor.
For individuals, relationships therapy can provide space to consider your own experiences, feelings and patterns within relationships. For couples, therapy creates a setting in which both partners can bring their experiences into the conversation and explore the difficulties affecting their relationship.
Care To Listen also supports people experiencing anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, stress and low self-esteem, alongside relationship difficulties and other emotional and mental health concerns.
Couples Counselling and Couples Therapy
Care To Listen provides couples counselling for people who want dedicated time and space to explore concerns affecting their relationship.
Couples therapy can provide a structured setting in which you and your partner can talk about your experiences with the support of a counsellor. Rather than expecting either person to arrive with all the answers, counselling provides an opportunity to explore what has been happening and consider the patterns or experiences that feel important within your relationship.
Every couple brings their own circumstances to counselling. The starting point is therefore your relationship and what you would like to explore, rather than making assumptions about what the difficulty is or what the outcome should be.
If you are unsure whether couples counselling is appropriate for you, you can begin by contacting Care To Listen and discussing the support available.
Relationships Therapy and Talking Therapies
Care To Listen provides a range of talking therapies, allowing different concerns and experiences to be explored in different ways.
Our counselling services include integrative and psychodynamic counselling, while our wider therapeutic approaches also include CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy). Couples therapy is also available specifically for people seeking support within their relationship.
You do not need to choose between these approaches before contacting us. An initial assessment gives you an opportunity to explain what has brought you to counselling and find out more about the therapy services available.
For people seeking relationships counselling individually, different therapeutic approaches can provide different ways to explore experiences, emotions and patterns within relationships.
Relationships CBT and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, is one of the therapeutic approaches available through Care To Listen.
Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Within counselling for bereavement, this can provide a way to explore patterns connected with how you think, feel and respond following a loss.
Bereavement CBT is one option within the broader range of talking therapies available through our counselling service. If you are considering CBT but are unsure whether it is an appropriate approach for you, this can be discussed during your initial assessment.
Psychodynamic Counselling and Relationships
Psychodynamic counselling provides an opportunity to explore experiences and patterns that may influence how you feel or relate to other people.
For someone seeking individual counselling for relationship difficulties, this can create space to consider connections between past and present experiences and the patterns that feel significant within their relationships.
Care To Listen provides psychodynamic counselling alongside other therapeutic approaches. This gives you different ways to explore relationship concerns without having to determine which type of relationships therapy you need before getting in touch.

Cost should not automatically prevent you from accessing counselling. As a registered charity and local counselling provider, Care To Listen works to make therapy more affordable and accessible for people in Croydon and the surrounding community.
