Free online marriage counselling - general help UK

There is a wealth of free online marriage counselling advice available, as you’ll see if you put the term into any search engine. But it’s important to find reliable information. For that it’s best to start (aside from reading this site!) by researching the subject through organisations such as the American Association for Family and Marriage Therapy at www.aamft.org. You can then follow their links. The AAFMT, for example, links to an online marriage counselling and advisory service at www.familytherapynet.com, a site which offers free advice and a more in-depth e-counselling service which you have to pay for.

On this note, it’s worth bearing in mind that if you want detailed and sustained counselling you will probably have to spend money on it whether it is face to face, over the phone or online – the counsellor’s time will cost money. Online advice may well work out cheaper than direct consultations, however, and it might help you to decide whether you want to take the next step of visiting a counsellor. Another paid site with some free advice is www.marriagematters.com

The Relate UK site (www.relate.org.uk - formerly the British Marriage Guidance Council) offers an opportunity to receive personal replies to emailed queries. Christian sites such as www.completemarriages.com and www.nameonline.net are good places to find free online marriage counselling, although as religious sites they have their own particular stance on marriage and divorce. The American Association of Christian Counsellors (www.aacc.net) is also a possible initial port of call.
