Relationship therapy enquiry — Psychologist — Professionals
Providers need competence in relationship-focused work and a clear process for deciding whether joint sessions are appropriate. Do not accept a booking by one person as consent from the other, and avoid framing therapeutic support as adjudication or a guaranteed relationship outcome.
Service scope
A request for an appropriately qualified professional to assess and, where suitable, provide therapy focused on a relationship. It is distinct from mediation of practical agreements, deciding blame or promising reconciliation, and joint work should not be assumed appropriate in every situation.
What is normally included
- Suitability discussion for relationship-focused therapy
- Agreed individual or joint therapeutic work
- Referral when a different service is needed
What is not included
- Legal settlement mediation
- Guaranteed reconciliation
- Treating unsafe joint participation as routine couples work
Qualification checks
- Confirm relationship-work competence
- Establish who wishes to participate
- Assess suitability and safety privately
- Explain shared and individual confidentiality
- Define therapeutic versus mediation scope
Quote guidance
Explain assessment and session fees, participant arrangements and cancellation rules. State whether individual preliminary appointments or written reports are included, without selling a fixed package as a guarantee of reconciliation or conflict resolution.
Lead risks
- Only one partner may have requested the service
- The enquiry may actually concern mediation
- Safety or clinical factors may change the appropriate format
