Welcome to Mig Bennett Relationship Counselling

Couples counselling has been described as 'like piloting a helicopter in a hurricane." Hence the absolute necessity for a therapist who is specialist trained, experienced and expert in the skills required. You wouldn’t risk asking your G.P. to perform open-heart surgery; you’d ask a cardiac surgeon.

I’m not a ‘general practitioner!’ I am a specialist and experienced relationship counsellor working with couples and individuals for over 25 years. I provide relationship counselling (including couples’ sexual issues) both privately and, until this year, with Relate, with whom I qualified in 1996. I am based in Crowborough on the Sussex/Kent border and work face to face and online. Over 80% of my cases are couples.

I also work with couples or partners where the use, by one of them, of pornography, online sexual encounters, multiple affairs or the visiting of sex workers is negatively affecting their relationship. Over the years I began to see an increase in these problematic behaviours and in 2018/19 undertook and achieved a Level 5 Diploma in Sex Addiction Counselling at the Institute for Sex Addiction Training (ISAT).

I have facilitated an online Support and Education Group for Partners of those with sexually addictive behaviours. Click here.

I am a Registered Member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT) and I abide by their Code of Ethics and Practice.

I am a Qualified Member of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity (ATSAC).

There are any number of reasons why couples seek support and below are just a few that I encounter in my work:

All we have in common is our thirteen year old and now she’s started criticising me – just like her mother does.
