Couples often find themselves stuck in patterns of arguing, distance, and frustration. The harder they try to fix things, the worse it sometimes gets – until one or both partners begin to lose the will to keep the relationship going." }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "url": "https://relationshipcounsellingkent.co.uk/problems/stale-relationships", "name": "Stale Relationships", "description": "In our experience at Relationship Counselling Kent, many couples start having problems because their relationship has become stale. This is especially common for couples who've been together for many years, and one of the most frequent reasons people seek couple therapy." }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "url": "https://relationshipcounsellingkent.co.uk/problems/infidelity-affairs", "name": "Infidelity & Affairs", "description": "If you've recently discovered that your partner has been having an affair, you will know just how hard it is to cope. It's not only the pain of betrayal you're left to process, but also the loss of trust – in your partner and in your relationship." }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "url": "https://relationshipcounsellingkent.co.uk/problems/considering-separation", "name": "Considering Separation", "description": "When a relationship reaches a crossroads, it can be one of the most painful and confusing experiences we face.

Our warm and understanding counsellors are here to help you talk things through and gain clarity about what to do next." }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "url": "https://relationshipcounsellingkent.co.uk/problems/loss-of-intimacy", "name": "Loss of Intimacy", "description": "It's common for relationships to go through periods where intimacy changes or becomes more difficult. Sometimes one or both partners lose interest in sex, or the closeness that once felt natural begins to fade. Over time this can leave couples feeling confused, rejected, or emotionally distant from one another. Intimacy is not only about sex. It also includes the emotional closeness, affection and connection that make a romantic relationship feel different from other relationships." }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 6, "url": "https://relationshipcounsellingkent.co.uk/problems/impact-of-pornography", "name": "Pornography in Relationships", "description": "Couples can have very different views when it comes to pornography. Some use it together to enhance their sexual relationship and see it as a positive part of their intimacy. Others prefer to avoid it entirely, feeling it has no place in a committed relationship. Then there's a third group – where one partner is comfortable with it, and the other is not. This mismatch in values or expectations can cause tension, misunderstandings, or even feelings of betrayal, especially if the use of pornography is kept secret. Like any other issue in a relationship, what matters most is how it's talked about. Whether it's causing arguments, emotional distance, or simply feels like an awkward topic to raise, working through it together with a therapist can help you better understand each other's views and find a way forward." }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 7, "url": "https://relationshipcounsellingkent.co.uk/problems/pre-marital-counselling", "name": "Pre-Marital", "description": "Pre-marital counselling is highly recommended – yet in the UK, many couples only seek professional help when their relationship is already under serious strain. By that point, problems have often been building for months or even years. Pre-marital counselling – or pre-living together therapy – offers a positive, proactive way to prepare for married life or cohabiting. It gives you both the space to talk things through openly, with the guidance of a professional relationship counsellor. Most importantly, your counsellor is not emotionally involved. This helps you both stay focused, identify areas that could become challenging in the future, and build a stronger foundation." }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 8, "url": "https://relationshipcounsellingkent.co.uk/problems/jealousy-trust-issues", "name": "Jealousy & Trust", "description": "Jealousy is a common reason couples seek help. It can quickly damage trust and lead to conflict. Our couples counsellors understand how painful and destructive jealousy can be for both partners. Feeling mistrusted can leave one partner feeling suffocated or controlled, while the jealous partner may feel insecure, anxious, and alone. Couples counselling provides a safe space to explore the root of the jealousy, rebuild trust, and improve communication – so you can both feel more secure and understood." } ] }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "CollectionPage", "name": "Common Relationship Problems", "description": "A collection of relationship issues and challenges that our counsellors specialize in helping couples overcome.", "url": "https://relationshipcounsellingkent.co.uk/problems", "mainEntity": { "@type": "ItemList", "numberOfItems": 8 } }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "How much does couples counselling cost in Kent?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Couples counselling is £80 for a 60-minute session.
