Edinburgh Special: In Treatment

Clare and Brian's relationship is in trouble. Could relationship counselling help? Stars Sally Phillips. From August 2013.

Clare and Brian's relationship has always been fraught but with communication at an all time low the couple try relationship counselling.

A one-off episode recorded in Edinburgh at the Festival.

Sally Phillips is Clare Barker the social worker who has all the right jargon but never a practical solution. A control freak, Clare likes nothing better than interfering in other people's lives on both a professional and personal basis. Clare is in her thirties, white, middle class and heterosexual, all of which are occasional causes of discomfort to her.

Clare struggles to control both her professional and private life and her professional life is impacting on her personal life as she and Brian seek help with their relationship. After all, Clare gives of herself everyday at work - is it her fault there's little left for Brian's dreary problems at the end of the day?
