About Peter Fowler

A Different Path to Couples Therapy

Meet Peter Fowler — Specialist Couples Therapist

London – Monaco – Dubai

For nearly twenty years, I’ve worked exclusively with couples navigating relationship complexity—helping them understand not just what keeps going wrong, but why. And more importantly, how to create something different.

But I didn’t start here.

My Path 

I spent two decades in television production—working with organisations like Miramax, Disney, PBS, TVNZ, and Channel 4. As a producer and writer, my job was constructing narratives: deciding what the story was, what mattered, where to place the emphasis. The same raw material could become completely different stories depending on how you shaped it.

When I retrained as a therapist—prompted in part by navigating my own relationship crisis—I began seeing the same dynamic in couples. Partners arrive with carefully edited versions of their relationship: who did what, who’s at fault, what it all means. These stories feel true because they’ve been told so many times. But they’re partial. They leave things out. And often, they keep the couple stuck.

Part of my work is helping couples see the edit—to notice what’s been cut, to question the roles they’ve assigned themselves and each other, and to open space for a different story to emerge.

My Distinctive Approach 

Over nearly two decades of specialising exclusively in couples work, I’ve developed an integrated approach I call Relational Intelligence Therapy. It draws on contemporary relational thinking, systemic perspectives, and evidence-based methods—but what makes it distinctive is how these elements work together.

I’m interested in both patterns and their origins. Understanding what keeps happening between you matters. But so does understanding why—the deeper currents, often outside awareness, that keep pulling you back to the same place.

The goal isn’t just to solve problems. It’s to help partners actually meet each other—to move from experiencing each other as obstacles toward something more like genuine recognition. When that happens, change becomes possible in ways that surface-level techniques never achieve.

The People I Work With

Most of my clients are high-achieving professionals—entrepreneurs, executives, founders, creatives, public figures—and their partners. They’re people accustomed to complexity in their work, and they want a therapist who can meet that same level of sophistication in addressing their relationship.

Many have tried couples therapy before. What brought them to me was a sense that previous approaches were either too shallow—offering techniques without real understanding—or too unfocused, generating insight without movement. They’re looking for depth that actually leads somewhere.

I also work with individuals navigating relationship decisions, processing what’s happened in past relationships, or preparing for couples work.

Working Together

Real change takes time and focus. That’s why I offer extended sessions and intensive formats rather than the standard 50-minute hour.

Extended sessions (75–120 minutes) let patterns emerge fully. One- or two-day intensives provide the depth and momentum that weekly therapy rarely achieves—especially valuable if you’re in crisis, or if flying in from overseas makes ongoing weekly sessions impractical.

I work in person at my Wimpole Street practice in London, online for international clients, and at select locations worldwide for intensive programmes. Complete discretion is built into every aspect of how I work.
