I can't say enough good things about my experience with Fettle. From the very first session, I felt supported and heard. The platform is user-friendly, and my therapist has been wonderful, empathetic, skilled, and genuinely invested in my progress.

Keith O MahonyGoogle

Without Fettle I'd have never had access to the therapist I meet with due to our locations. I was matched with Rebecca Lock. She is an incredible therapist who has helped me time and time again.

John PerryGoogle

Very positive experience. Was very handy to be able to do from home.

L MorleyGoogle

My Fettle counsellor Ken was open and non-judgemental. He allowed me to set the agenda and flow of communication. I gained insight on my issues and feel empowered to overcome them.

Emma MacCarthyGoogle

I've been using Fettle on and off now for 2 years. Thankfully Fettle paired me up with an excellent therapist based on the issues I said I would like to discuss and I've come a long way since then. I would recommend Fettle as they genuinely do their best to ensure people are matched with the right therapist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about marriage counselling? We have answers.

Online marriage counselling works just like in-person sessions, only you join from home. Both spouses meet with the therapist via secure video, discuss your challenges, and learn tools to improve communication, reduce conflict, and reconnect emotionally.

Marriage counselling can help with communication problems, recurring arguments, trust issues, infidelity recovery, intimacy concerns, in-law conflicts, parenting disagreements, and feeling disconnected.

Not at all. Many couples come to therapy long before things feel "serious." It's a great way to prevent minor issues from becoming major problems and strengthen your communication.

No. A marriage therapist stays neutral and makes sure both spouses feel heard. Their role is to help you understand each other better and break unhealthy patterns—not to blame or pick favourites.

Most couples start noticing changes within 4–6 sessions, but it depends on your goals and commitment. Some choose short-term support, while others prefer longer-term check-ins.

Yes. While healing from infidelity is challenging, many couples do recover and rebuild stronger relationships. A therapist can guide you through the pain and work toward forgiveness.

Therapy Approaches for Marriage

Depending on your specific challenges, certain therapeutic techniques work better than others.

Emotionally Focused Therapy

EFT helps married couples identify and change negative interaction patterns by focusing on emotional responses and attachment needs, creating a more secure marital bond.

Gottman Method

Based on decades of research with married couples, this approach focuses on building friendship, managing conflict constructively, and creating shared meaning.

Imago Relationship Therapy

Imago therapy helps spouses understand how childhood experiences influence their marriage dynamics, using structured dialogue techniques.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT for marriage focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to marital problems.

9 Tips to Make Marriage Counselling Work

Following these tips can maximize your chances of success.

1

Both spouses must participate fully. Marriage counselling works best when both partners are committed.

2

Be completely honest. Withholding information reduces effectiveness and delays healing.

3

Address individual issues separately. Personal mental health concerns may need separate attention.

4

Be patient with the process. The first sessions may feel awkward, but it gets easier.

5

Complete homework assignments. Follow all instructions from your therapist between sessions.

6

Prepare for sessions. Walk in with objectives, walk out with action items.

7

Practice daily. New communication skills become habits through regular practice.

8

Set clear goals together. Discuss your therapy goals as a couple early on.

9

Reconnect after sessions. After therapy, do something enjoyable together.

More Questions About Marriage Counselling

Everything you need to know about strengthening your marriage

The terms are often used interchangeably. Marriage counselling typically focuses specifically on married couples and the unique dynamics of marriage, including legal, financial, and family considerations.

Online marriage counselling offers more flexible and accessible options. It's particularly helpful for busy couples, those with children, or spouses with different work schedules.

In marriages involving domestic abuse, physical violence, substance addiction, and/or serious untreated mental illness, couples therapy is not usually considered appropriate.

Fettle online marriage therapy sessions are €119.99 for a 60-minute Zoom session. Check our Bundles page for discounted packages.

Absolutely! Pre-marital counselling helps couples discuss expectations, values, finances, and communication styles before saying "I do."
