Couples Counselling in Southsea
If you and your partner are struggling to reach each other — stuck in the same argument, feeling more like housemates than a couple, or finding your way back after a betrayal — you don't have to travel far to find support. My counselling practice is based right here in Southsea (PO4 9NZ), offering a calm, unbiased space to be heard and to begin repairing what matters.
I'm Marion Morris, a BACP registered counsellor with a Certificate in Working with Couples and over 2,500 hours of one-to-one experience. I work with couples from across Southsea, Eastney, and the wider Portsmouth area, in person and online.
Couples counselling on your doorstep in Southsea
Reaching out for couples counselling can feel like a big step, and having a local, familiar place to come to makes it easier. The practice is a short distance for those living around Southsea, Eastney, Milton and Albert Road, with a private, comfortable therapy room rather than a busy clinic. If getting to a session in person is difficult, telephone and Zoom sessions are always an option.
What couples counselling can help with
You don't need to be in crisis to benefit. Many of the couples I see are simply tired of feeling stuck. Counselling can help when you are experiencing:
- • Communication breakdown and feeling unheard
- • The same arguments repeating without resolution
- • Loss of trust, including after infidelity
- • Emotional or physical disconnection and growing apart
- • Navigating big changes — parenthood, work stress, illness, or loss
A psychodynamic, unbiased approach
I work from a psychodynamic perspective, which means we gently explore how each of your histories and relationship patterns shape what happens between you now. I don't take sides or hand out verdicts — my role is to help you both feel heard and understand one another more clearly, so you can respond differently and reconnect. You can read more about my full approach on the main couples counselling in Portsmouth page.
Sessions and getting started
We begin with a free introductory call so you can both get a sense of how I work. Sessions are 50 minutes and cost £65, and can be weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. You can read more on the sessions and fees page, learn more about Marion, or explore counselling in Southsea more generally.
Common questions about couples counselling in Southsea
Where in Southsea is your couples counselling practice?
My practice is based in Southsea (PO4 9NZ), so couples counselling here is genuinely local — not a city-centre clinic you have to travel into. Sessions are also available by telephone and Zoom if that suits you better.
How much does couples counselling cost in Southsea?
Couples sessions are £65 for 50 minutes. A free introductory call by telephone or Zoom is offered first, so you can both ask questions before booking a paid session.
Do you offer evening couples sessions in Southsea?
Yes. Evening appointments are available to fit around work and family commitments, in person at the Southsea practice or online.
Can couples counselling in Southsea help after an affair?
Yes. Many couples come while recovering from infidelity. Counselling offers a calm, unbiased space to understand what happened, process the hurt, and decide together whether and how to rebuild trust — at a pace that feels manageable for both of you.
Is this the same as relationship counselling?
Yes. Couples counselling and relationship counselling in Southsea describe the same work — focusing on the relationship between you rather than either person individually.
Ready to Take the First Step?
It's completely normal to feel nervous about reaching out. There's no pressure — you can ask questions, share what's on your mind, or simply see if it feels right. Your first session is a chance to meet me and decide if my approach works for you.
