Online Couples Therapy for Manchester and the North West
Supporting our Northern clients and couples
Specialist couples therapy, without the London mark-up
You shouldn’t have to travel south or pay London fees to access excellent, specialist relationship therapy. The Relationship Therapy Practice works with couples across Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Liverpool, Chester, Preston, Warrington, Bolton and the wider North West — all online.
Because we work online, we can match you with a therapist whose training and style genuinely fit what you need, rather than whoever happens to have a room available in your postcode.
The Northern Couples We Tend to See
- Busy working parents in Manchester and the Trafford/Stockport commuter belt
- Couples in Liverpool and the Wirral navigating career moves or redundancy
- Partners in Cheshire towns where local specialist therapy is hard to find
- Rural couples across Lancashire and Cumbria with long drives to any high street
- LGBTQ+ couples wanting an inclusive, non-judgmental space
- Mixed-heritage and intercultural couples working through family-of-origin dynamics
What brings Northern couples to therapy
The presenting issue is often practical — money, parenting, in-laws, sex — but underneath there’s usually a more honest question: “Are we still a team? Are we still choosing each other?” We help you answer that question with clarity and care.
- Feeling more like flatmates or co-parents than partners
- Repeating arguments that never quite resolve
- Loss of intimacy, desire or sexual connection
- An affair, emotional or physical
- Major life changes: redundancy, relocation, illness, bereavement
- Considering separation and wanting to understand your options
How Online Therapy fits a Northern Week

-
- Evening and early-morning appointments across the working week
- Both partners joining from the same sofa — or from separate cities
- Continuity during school holidays, business travel and family visits
- Private, confidential access from anywhere with Wi-Fi

Our Approach
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Our therapists are trained in a range of evidence-based approaches — Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, psychodynamic and systemic work, and CBT — and we draw on what fits your relationship, not what fits our preferred model
