Our international therapy service is delivered by a team of highly experienced therapists who have undertaken additional specialist training in this area.  

Our clients have come from a large list of countries all across the world, from The Netherlands to Nigeria, Singapore to South Africa.

Our training and way of working - 'The Tavistock Method' - is famed in the psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytic world.

Dr Pierre Cachia first joined Tavistock Relationships in 2007 as a trainee on the MA in couple psychotherapy and subsequently undertook doctoral research in the field. Since 2013 he has formed part of the clinical leadership while retaining an active role in training. Over the past seven years he has led the setting up of the Online Couple Psychotherapy Service which he currently heads and supervisees. He is a qualified individual psychotherapist, counselling psychologist, psychoanalytic couple psychotherapist and clinical supervisor.  He has contributed to our online CPD training courses with 'Facilitating the Therapeutic Connection in Online Therapy - The Four Domains' and 'Online Therapy: How to Make the Transition to Working Online, and How to Develop Good Practice'.

You can choose to attend with your partner or alone. At this session you’ll have the chance to talk through any concerns and ask any questions about how the counselling process works.

People generally find this initial consultation very helpful.

If you then want to take things forward we’ll agree a time that works, with sessions delivered on a weekly basis. You can read more about the counselling process here.

Does couple therapy work?

We know that couple therapy works; evidence proves it.

A few years ago, we published the largest ever study of couple therapy for adults, showing that it is highly effective at improving relationships and reducing individual psychological distress. You can read more here.

Psychotherapy delivered by a psychotherapist – A term given to anyone who treats psychological distress through some kind of non-medicine therapy. They don’t have to be psychiatrists or psychologists and often have done long, thorough trainings as at Tavistock Relationships, meeting professional standards. Psychotherapists are often interested in looking deeply into the background of the clients, in order to understand more about how this may be affecting their current problems.

Counselling provided by a counsellor – A title given to anyone who treats emotional or life distress through some kind of non-medicine talking treatment. They tend to be lighter-touch in their approach than psychotherapists, looking at the present issues, and their training tends to be shorter. Anyone can call themself a “counsellor” but Tavistock Relationships has a particular definition, and training that meets specific Professional Body standards.

People gain a range of benefits from psychosexual therapy depending on their needs and the difficulties they bring. Talking about sexual problems can seem daunting, and most people feel really relieved to discuss the problems that may have been bothering them for some time and this, in itself, can have very beneficial effects on your sex life.

For other people a structured programme of help can resolve problems with painful intercourse, difficulties with orgasm, arousal disorders, erectile dysfunction and premature or delayed ejaculation.
