Online Couples Therapy

Relationships don't always go the way we want them to.
If you find it hard to communicate, feel distant, or experience increasing tension – online couples therapy can help you rebuild closeness and understanding.

Online meetings are a convenient, safe, and effective solution – no matter where you live.

Who is online couples therapy for?

  • Thanks to online meetings, they can stay connected and work on their relationship despite the distance, without having to plan expensive trips. This is especially helpful for couples in long-distance relationships or when one partner works abroad.

  • Online therapy allows you to find time even with a busy schedule, because you can connect from anywhere: from the office, home, or during a business trip. It's a flexible solution for couples leading busy lives.

  • Many people feel more calm and open when they can talk in a familiar, safe environment. Your own space helps you focus on your emotions and makes it easier to talk about difficult topics without the stress of commuting or the presence of other people.

  • Online meetings allow you to get support quickly, even when partners live separately or are temporarily unable to talk to each other face to face. A therapist helps to understand the source of the tension and restore dialogue.

  • In a safe online space, a couple can work on rebuilding their bond step by step, with the help of an experienced professional. Joint sessions promote honesty, reflection, and a gradual regaining of intimacy.

What are the benefits of online couples therapy?

  • Through conversation with a therapist, a couple can better recognize what's behind anger, withdrawal, or silence. Understanding a partner's feelings often opens the door to empathy and cooperation instead of mutual accusations.

  • Therapy shows how to talk about your emotions without hurting the other person, and how to listen to truly hear. These aren't just conversation techniques, but also work on tone, intention, and attitude towards your partner.

  • Instead of going around in circles with the same arguments, couples learn to look for solutions, not for someone to blame. The therapist helps to find language that doesn't hurt and strategies that allow you to break the deadlock.

  • Working on the relationship in therapy allows for gradual regaining of a sense of security after betrayal, crisis, or a long period of distance. It is a process in which the couple learns to be a support for each other again.

  • Therapy doesn't always end with a 'happy ending,' but it always helps to understand what is important for both of you. Regardless of whether the couple decides to continue the relationship or break up, they can do so with greater peace, respect, and understanding.

Online couples therapy is not a relationship 'repair' but an investment in the quality of life together. It provides space for conversation that is often lacking in everyday life and a chance to rebuild what once was your strength.

What does online couples therapy look like?

Meetings take place via a secure, encrypted video platform, to which the couple receives an individual link after booking a session. No special application is needed—just a computer, tablet, or phone with a camera and a stable internet connection.

  • Couples therapy lasts longer than individual therapy because it takes time to listen to and understand both partners' perspectives. Each person needs space to express their emotions and respond to what the other person is saying. The longer duration avoids rushing and allows for real dialogue, not just an exchange of views.

  • Most meetings take place as a duo—both partners talk to the therapist at the same time. If necessary, the therapist may suggest a short individual conversation with one of the partners to better understand the background of the situation or emotions that are difficult to express in front of the other person.

  • The regularity of meetings allows you to maintain continuity of work and gradually introduce changes in the relationship. During periods of high tension or crisis, sessions may take place more often, and during the consolidation phase—less often.

  • Each couple works with a therapist who is trained in systemic or couples therapy. Thanks to this, the sessions are conducted in a balanced way—with respect for both parties and without favoring either of them.

A few practical technical tips

Although online therapy does not differ significantly from in-office therapy, it is worth taking care of a few elements that improve the comfort and quality of the meeting.

If both partners are participating in the session on one computer, it is good to set the camera so that both are visible in one frame. To do this, you can move the device further away and use an external speaker or microphone to ensure good audibility. Alternatively, a wide-angle camera that covers the entire space works great.

It is also worth turning off automatic background muting—otherwise, when partners speak simultaneously, one person may not be heard. A good solution is to switch to the so-called 'walkie-talkie' mode—that is, alternately: I speak—I listen. This not only improves communication but also helps to practice mindfulness and mutual listening—one of the key skills developed in couples therapy.

Since two people are participating in the session, it's important to ensure a sense of privacy and calm. Before you start the meeting, make sure that no one in your household will disturb you, and that phones and other devices are silenced. If there are pets in the house, it's best if they are in another room during the session. This has a real impact on the feeling of safety and freedom to talk.

How to prepare for your first online session?



The first meeting with a couples therapist online is a time for you to get to know each other, talk about your situation, and jointly set goals for your work together. It's worth taking a few minutes to prepare your space and equipment so that nothing distracts you during the conversation.

Here are a few simple tips to help you get off to a good start:

🔸 Ensure a quiet space – choose a room where you can talk without worrying that someone will hear you or interrupt you. It's good if you can close the door and have a moment to yourselves.

🔸 Check your equipment and internet connection – before the session, make sure your camera and microphone are working and that you have a stable Wi-Fi signal. If you are using a laptop, plug it into the charger to avoid stress during the conversation.

🔸 Position the camera so that both of you are visible in the frame – you can move the device a little further away or use an external camera with a wide angle. If you are sitting together, consider an additional speaker or microphone so that the therapist can hear you well.

🔸 Turn off automatic background muting – to avoid a situation where one person disappears from the conversation when the other starts speaking. It's worth switching to "walkie-talkie" mode: one person speaks, the other listens. This is a simple exercise in mindfulness and respect that greatly supports the therapeutic process.

🔸 Ensure comfort – a cup of tea, a comfortable chair, and a moment to breathe before connecting can do more than you think. Therapy is not an exam – it's a space where you can simply be yourselves.

🔸 Put away phones and other distractions – it's worth treating the session as a meeting just for you. You deserve to have the world slow down for a moment during this hour.

You don't need to know "where to start" at the first session. It is the therapist's role to help you find a common language and rhythm of conversation. All you need to do is come with a willingness to try – we'll take care of the rest together.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Scientific research and our experience show that online therapy can be just as effective as in-office sessions – provided that the couple has privacy and good technical conditions.
    The therapeutic relationship is built in the same way – through conversation, understanding, and working on emotions. For many couples, the online format turns out to be even easier and more comfortable because it allows for greater honesty, a sense of security, and saves time.

  • This is a common dilemma. Not every couple starts therapy with the same level of commitment. It's worth treating this as a starting point for a conversation about motivations and fears.
    The therapist does not force anyone to participate – but can help understand what the other side is afraid of or avoiding. Sometimes one joint session is enough to overcome resistance and see that therapy is not about "settling scores" but about understanding the relationship and emotions of both partners.

  • We do not recommend using a phone as the main tool for couples therapy – this is only an emergency solution, for example, in the event of a trip or technical problems with the computer.
    The small screen and limited frame hinder eye contact, and non-verbal communication and observation of the partner's reactions are key in relational therapy.
    For full comfort and effectiveness of the meeting, a laptop or tablet is definitely better, as it allows for free dialogue and visibility of both partners in one frame.

  • Absolutely. Therapy is a voluntary process – a couple can end or suspend it at any time, and the therapist will help to do so in a safe and conscious way.
    However, it is worth discussing the reasons for the decision beforehand – sometimes the desire to stop therapy is part of the difficulties in the relationship, and talking about it can become an important element of the work.
    Ending therapy does not mean “failure” – on the contrary, it is a moment of summarizing and reflecting on what has been understood and changed.

  • The cost of one session is 350 PLN for 90 minutes and includes the participation of both partners.
    The price includes the therapist's full working time, preparation for the session, and support between sessions as part of the agreed therapeutic process.
    Payment is made in advance – online, by bank transfer, BLIK, or card. We issue a personal or company invoice on request.

  • Yes, although not in the same sense as at school.
    “Homework assignments” in couples therapy are more like suggestions to test between sessions – e.g., a way of talking, a specific communication exercise, spending time together in a specific way, or reflecting on what has happened in the last week.
    They are not obligatory, but they help to consolidate the effects of therapy and transfer the conclusions from the conversation to everyday life. After all, it is there – in everyday interactions – that real change happens.

  • No. The role of a couples therapist is not to point out who is right, but to help understand each person's perspective.
    The therapist ensures that both partners feel heard and treated with equal respect.
    The goal of therapy is not to win an argument, but to rebuild trust, understanding, and cooperation. In practice, this means that the therapist sometimes asks difficult questions to one side and sometimes to the other — always with the common goal of improving the relationship, not “settling scores.”

  • Yes – every session, including online sessions, is completely confidential.
    We use secure, encrypted platforms, and therapists are required to maintain professional secrecy.
    No one but you and the therapist has access to the content of the conversations or any data regarding the meeting.
    For an added sense of security, make sure that no one in your household can hear you in the place from which you connect to the session. This is a small detail that helps you to fully open up and focus on the conversation.
