Spanish term or phrase: terapia de pareja (in UK English)
Feliz domingo para todos.

Estoy traduciendo de español a inglés británico un paper sobre ludopatía y tengo el término "terapia de pareja".

¿Es "marriage guidance" (UK) como aparece en el Oxford? O ¿se utiliza otro término? ¿Puede ser "couple therapy"?

Desde ya muchas gracias

couple therapy
Explanation:
the term is "couple" (singular) therapy -- as you put -- because only one couple (pair of people) is treated at a time.

An example of use:

This book is based on a scholar-practitioner model. There are individual chapters in the following sections of the book: Individual therapy, ***couple therapy***, family therapy, children in therapy, adolescent therapy, and assessment and practice aids.

I suppose you could say relationship counselling, to cancel the "marriage" aspect, but I have always heard "marriage guidance counselling"
