Conscious Couples Counselling in Bristol

Learn. Heal. Grow.

Strengthen your relationship with conscious couples counselling in Bristol

Every relationship moves through its seasons, its closeness and its distance, its ease and its struggle. Reaching out for couples counselling in Bristol is so much more than a way to end the conflict, it is an invitation to build a relationship that is safe, respectful, joyful and deeply connected.


My approach to couples counselling draws on the transformational Imago dialogue, gently guiding you both to communicate with curiosity, awareness and empathy. Together we create a safe relational space where each of you can feel truly heard, valued and understood. This work is not simply about fixing what feels broken, it is about uncovering the unconscious patterns that quietly shape the way you relate, so that real and lasting change becomes possible.


As your conscious couples counsellor I hold this process with care, helping you explore how early childhood experiences, attachment wounding and buried resentments may be influencing the way you are with one another today. Whether you are struggling with communication, working to rebuild trust, or simply longing to feel close again, this work offers a safe and supportive space where you can meet your challenges as a team rather than as adversaries. Because it's never just about the other person and it's never just about what it's about.

GET STARTED

How can conscious couples counselling help?

My conscious couples counselling sessions in Bristol are here to help you:


  • communicate more openly and deepen your intimacy
  • resolve recurring conflicts in a calm and constructive way
  • rebuild trust, restore emotional connection and heal old resentments
  • move through major life transitions together, such as becoming parents or changing careers
  • find clarity and support if you are weighing up marriage, recommitment or separation

This is not work only for couples in crisis. Many of the couples I see are simply ready to relate rather than react, and to learn the practical tools and strategies that create a healthier, more fulfilling relationship for the years ahead.

In-person and online conscious couples counselling

I offer face to face Conscious couples counselling five days a week, from my consulting room in Clifton, Bristol and from my home room in Priddy, near Wells in Somerset. For those with busy working weeks I keep later sessions available on Mondays and Tuesdays in Bristol, along with sessions on Saturdays.


While many couples find that meeting in person suits them best, I also offer online couples counselling over Zoom. This can be a real blessing for couples juggling demanding schedules, young families or distance, allowing you to do this important work from wherever you feel most comfortable.

Conscious Couples counselling for long-term commitment

For couples who have hit a rough or bumpy patch, my counselling in Bristol offers a safe space to pause, reflect, rebuild and reconnect. Whether you are just starting out or have shared decades together, working with an experienced couples counsellor can help you meet your difficulties with honesty and clarity, and find your way back to one another through healing, growth and genuine understanding.


So often it is the language we use, the way we listen, and the stories we tell ourselves about our partner that quietly create the distance between us. As we learn a new way of communicating, those same difficulties become opportunities for the relationship to deepen rather than to fracture.

Take the first step

Choosing to prioritise your relationship is one of the wisest and most loving investments you will ever make. The reward is a relationship where you both feel safe, seen, respected and loved, with the tools to sustain lasting passion, intimacy and connection for life.


If you are ready to strengthen your bond and heal the wounds that have been causing you pain, book a discovery call today and begin your journey towards a happier, healthier and more conscious relationship.

Frequently asked questions

Is Conscious couples counselling confidential?

Yes. Everything shared in our sessions is held in the strictest confidence. As a counsellor I am bound by clear ethical guidelines to protect your privacy and to hold a safe, respectful space for you both throughout our work together.

How much does Conscious couples counselling in Bristol cost?

Fees for couples counselling in Bristol vary depending on the counsellor's experience, approach and location, with most sessions falling somewhere between £70 and £110 per hour. My own sessions are 1.5 hours in length and are charged at £150 per couple, which is £75 per person, with a discounted rate available when you book a series of six sessions ahead of time. Discovery calls and session casework are always included, and generous concession spaces are available for those for whom affordability is an issue.

Do you offer online Conscious couples counselling?

Yes. Alongside my in person sessions in Clifton, Bristol and Priddy in Somerset, I offer online Conscious couples counselling over Zoom for couples who are not local to Bristol, or who would simply prefer to meet from the comfort of their own home.

How long does Conscious couples counselling take?

Every couple is different, though I usually suggest beginning with a series of six 1.5 hour sessions, with a fuller programme of around eighteen sessions for those who wish to go much deeper. Many couples notice a real shift in how they relate within the first few sessions, as new tools begin to replace old habits.

“Powerful work, with unbound potential. Expertly delivered, carefully guided, and all in a safe, kind and supportive atmosphere. It's wonderful to have so many more tools and reflections with which to deal with any challenges that may come up in the future, and to reflect on challenges of the past, helping me take responsibility for everything I can to make things in and around my life better.”

PETE

“Doing this work with the supportive guidance of Matthew has taken our relationship into a whole new chapter. When we started, we were at the lowest point of our 11 year relationship and at a real loss. We now have the tools we need to remain connected, and really hold space for each other whilst we take on the work of healing. Our sessions with Matthew have been completely transformative, and we'll be forever grateful.”

MOLLY

“Really grateful to Matthew for giving us the tools to communicate effectively without judgement and defensiveness. I honestly didn't hold much hope for the sessions to work however they were revolutionary and have transformed our relationship. I have been recommending him to everyone.”

KIM

“Matthew has had a profound impact on how I relate. Through his guidance, my partner and I learned that repair conversations don’t have to be dreaded, they can be simple, deeply cathartic, and are often where real intimacy is created. Neither of us had strong models for what a healthy relationship or healthy communication looks like, but Matthew has given us practical tools and a framework that enables us to make the other feel genuinely seen, heard, and validated. I am deeply grateful to have worked with him.”

ISA

“We didn’t know how to communicate before Matthew, and step by step we learned. We are very grateful for the help we have received. We cannot recommend Matthew enough!”

SARAH

“Matthew gave us tools to reconnect with our deeper selves, to listen with love rather than defence, and to see each other again with compassion. The process has brought us back together in a way that feels stronger, more open, and more real than ever before. We will be forever grateful to Matthew for the part he has played in healing our relationship. He has given us a gift that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.”

JOE

“Matthew at conscious couples therapy in Bristol saw me and my husband at crisis point and has really helped give us the tools to save our marriage. The form of communication he teaches has reshaped how we deal with problems and will continue to help us through the rest of our marriage. He is passionate about the work he does and really cares about the couples he works with. I would definitely recommend realignment to couples as the method he teaches really creates a much happier, calmer and safer way of communicating.”

SARAH DOWN

“This counselling was a god send for me and my husband. When we contacted Matthew, our marriage was in such a bad place. We had started looking at divorce lawyer. However, after agreeing to do Matthew's counselling. We both realised though we loved each other. Our language, ability to listen, story we are telling ourselves, and interpretation of our partner was causing such barriers. Matthew allowed us, using his style of the imago method to open our world up to each other and really listen. He allowed us to reflect on why we react to things and brings in childhood traumas and trigger for healing and understanding. I would highly recommend.”

YASMIN

“Matthew was brilliant to work with the guidance and advice that was given to me, personally has helped me understand how to communicate so much better with my partner, I found our communication getting better after each session and it created a much calmer atmosphere, I also felt it wasn’t just working to communicate better with my partner, Matt really helped me dive into myself as person to be more conscious. I would 100% recommend Matthew. Thank you so much!”

RYAN

“Matthew was great! We've gained so much from our time with him and our relationship has never been stronger. Thank you Matthew!”

CHRIS AND DANI

“I cannot thank Matthew enough for providing me and my husband the best guidance, support encouragement and understanding throughout our couples counselling. Matthew creates a relaxed, friendly and safe environment to help open communication. You can tell he really cares for his clients. The therapy that Matthew gives allows you to have the tools to take with you forever! I highly recommend Matthew for any couples and individual counselling!”

ZOE

“Although I wasn’t sure about “conscious couples” when we signed up I cant thank Matthew enough for the transformation of our relationship. We were like passing ships in the night after years of resentment on both sides, always finding other priorities to avoid spending intimate time together. Even our children were worrying about us. Matthew's knowledgable warm and passionate approach showed us a wonderful mirror and gave us tools and exercises to reconnect and rediscover the fun and the spark we’d lost. Thank you.”
