Real Trustpilot reviews from people who found the right therapist through Fettle.

Genuinely transformed how I operate day-to-day. Before starting with Fettle, I was very close to hitting burnout - struggling with procrastination, time management, and a frustrating lack of structure. Over the last three months, working with my therapist, Louise O'Sullivan, gave me the exact circuit breaker I needed.

I really enjoy my weekly sessions with Dylan Johnston. I have tried therapy before but this time I feel I'm getting a lot more out of it. I feel so understood and it makes life less overwhelming. It's been so great to be able to do it on my laptop at home instead of the added stress of travel.

Gabby MurphyTrustpilot · Mar 2026

I am so happy I decided to try fettle. Emma Keane was my therapist and I felt immediately at ease with her, she helped me a tremendous amount. Her empathy helped me navigate difficult relationships and gain a much clearer understanding of my anxiety.

Great support provided by the fettle team. They are really fantastic in following up and helping with any issues on the platform. Wonderful therapists and lovely people.

Fettle really got me over a hard part in my life. My father had died and I was drinking heavily. They got back to me and got me talking to someone very fast.

Simon TobinTrustpilot · Nov 2025

Fettle makes therapy simple. I booked by text message and had my first session the same week. My therapist was accredited and really down-to-earth. It's great to know I can access support from home whenever I need it.

MatthewTrustpilot · Nov 2025

I was nervous about starting therapy online, but Fettle made it effortless. Irish-based, accredited therapists and excellent communication. I booked through WhatsApp, and everything was sorted instantly. Fantastic service!

Found a therapist who matches my needs, and has been open and engaging. I've been able to set up appointments on my own terms. It is certainly a service I value. Setting up additional sessions is easy and the reminders and calendars are handy to have.

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 towards 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 Behavioural Therapy

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

9 Tips to Make Marriage Counselling Work

Following these tips can maximise 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 €135 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."

Book a quick consultation and tell us about your situation. We'll match you with a marriage counsellor who aligns with your goals. All sessions are entirely online with flexible availability.
