Relationship counselling, Online, by phone or face to face in Cardiff
Relationship counselling isn’t just for romantic couples—it can also benefit friends, business partners, or anyone looking to improve communication.
Every relationship faces challenges, and counselling provides a space to navigate them together. Our therapists help identify issues, resolve conflicts, and set goals to implement change.
With a neutral, non-judgemental approach, our counsellors guide you through your concerns, offering fresh perspectives and helping you find a way forward together.

Openly discuss challenges in a safe space
-
Gain a deeper understanding of each other’s perspectives
-
Establish new ways of communicating
-

It’s important to remember that relationship counselling isn’t always easy—it requires honesty, openness, and a willingness to listen. But through counselling, partners can recognise patterns in their relationship, build healthier ways to communicate, and work towards implementing change together.

The assessment lasts about 30 minutes and takes place with one of our counsellors, who will ask you questions about what led you to therapy. This helps the counsellor see what kind of therapy would work best for you.
At this session, we won’t take a detailed look at your concerns or goals. We’ll just talk a little bit about your background and the things that have led up to you contacting us. This, together with any previous experience of counselling that you have had.
Counselling can be a useful part of making positive changes in your life. But it’s not a quick ‘fix’ – it can take time and be challenging. It’s also important to have an open mind and realistic expectations.
Usually, people choose to have counselling because they are going through a difficult time, experiencing distress, or struggling with their mental health. There might be difficult life events taking place, like bereavement, divorce, redundancy, health issues and stress. Or you might feel that you’re generally having a tough time at the moment. Our counsellors can work with people facing all kinds of challenges.
Yes. Some of our counsellors have specific training in particular areas but the majority of counsellors will work with people wherever they are. We look at your situation, your challenges, your goals and you as a person.
Our large team of professional counsellors specialise in many types of talking therapies. Everyone on the team is registered with a professional body (like BACP, UKCP or similar) meaning they’ve met the required professional standards to work as a counsellor. All Platfform Wellbeing counsellors adhere to BACP’s Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. You can also find us in the counselling directory.
Where counselling or psychotherapy is not appropriate or we don’t have the appropriate skills, we will refer clients to suitable agencies
