Reset services

Couples counselling

Support for partners who want to explore communication, connection, conflict or change without one person being treated as the problem.

The approach, fees and booking steps below are for Reset’s own service with Rosa Stevens.

Face-to-face is the default.
Every appointment is treated as face-to-face in Holywood unless Reset has received your email asking for an online session. Click here to request an online session — we’ll confirm the change before your first session. Current openings can change — the booking calendar shows the latest availability.

Finding the right support starts with a conversation

You don’t have to know exactly what kind of support you need before you contact Reset. We can help you explore your options, understand what different practitioners offer and consider what may suit your circumstances, preferences and hopes.

Sometimes that means working with Rosa Stevens; sometimes another independent practitioner at Reset or a different service may offer a more appropriate approach. With your knowledge and agreement, we can discuss a possible introduction. You remain free to decide.

A general enquiry does not require Rosa’s £25 assessment. Each independent practitioner decides suitability and explains their own assessment, fees and working agreement. An introduction or assessment does not guarantee availability or ongoing appointments.

Face-to-face is the default; online is available by emailed request and confirmation — we will confirm the change before your first session.

Your couples counselling forms & contract

One step at a time, before we begin.

You don't need to find or download a contract yourself. Reset will email the right form at the right stage. The assessment form and service contract are separate steps.

Your Agreement and Practice Information explains the four separate counselling and supervision agreements. These four agreements are currently withheld pending corrections, testing and Rosa’s final approval; no contract links are available to complete. No agreement is collected on this website.

  1. Step 1

    Book your first appointment

    Choose your assessment or discovery appointment. You do not need to sign the service contract yet.

  2. Step 2

    Complete your secure assessment form

    Each partner completes the Couples Counselling Pre-Screening & Suitability Assessment individually before the first session. Rosa explains the confidentiality and safety arrangements before couples work begins.

  3. Step 3

    Attend your first assessment

    Talk with Reset about what you need and whether working together is suitable. You can ask questions and discuss the next steps.

  4. Step 4

    Read and acknowledge your approved contract

    After assessment, each partner scans the couples counselling QR code. Each partner must complete their own acknowledgement independently before ongoing couples work; neither can agree for the other. No automatic email copy is promised.

  5. Step 5

    Agree your ongoing sessions

    Confirm the format, frequency and payment arrangements with Reset. A 48-hour cancellation policy applies to all Reset bookings.

Your assessment and agreement are separate. The counselling and supervision agreements remain unavailable here pending Rosa’s final approval. No contract is completed on this website.

Annual leave & planned absences

Planned annual leave will normally be communicated at least two weeks in advance, with clear information about the dates affected. Unexpected absences will be communicated as soon as reasonably possible.

Where possible, appointments are arranged with planned absences in mind. Limited appointments during leave are identified separately; your usual appointment does not automatically continue. Alternative appointments cannot always be offered.

Reset is not a crisis or emergency service, including during leave. In immediate danger call 999; for urgent emotional support call Samaritans on 116 123.

Common questions

Before you book

Do I need to be certain this is the right service?+

No. The first appointment is there to explore suitability. Reset can help you think about a different route if that would fit better.

Are sessions confidential?+

Yes, within professional and legal limits. Confidentiality, records, safeguarding and any exceptions are explained before ongoing work begins.

How many sessions will I need?+

There is no fixed answer. This is discussed together and reviewed as the work develops; no outcome or timeframe can be guaranteed.

What if there are no appointments showing?+

Availability changes. Use the general contact page for a brief availability enquiry without sharing detailed or confidential information.

#LookBeforeYouBook

Take a moment to check who you’re booking.
