Cost couples therapy

You have decided to start couples therapy and are looking for a relationship therapist to guide you. But what about the cost of relationship counseling? Can you assume your health insurance or National Health Service will reimburse these costs? Many people think so, but unfortunately in practice this is usually not the case. Health insurance doesn’t technically cover couples therapy or marriage counseling. It only covers mental health therapy and ‘relationship issues’ are in themselves not a diagnosis. There are some health insurance policies under which you are (partially) reimbursed for relationship counseling. Always consult your health insurer about reimbursement possibilities.
