My marriage MoT

Katie Piper on couples therapy, life after 40 & her hope for more kids

- BY JANINE YAQOOB

KATIE Piper says couples therapy has helped to make her marriage stronger after nearly 10 years.

Describing it as a “relationship MOT”, the campaigner and presenter, 41, said it has made her feel seen and heard.

Katie has been with husband Richard Sutton since 2013 and they married in November 2015.

She said: 'I've had therapy in lots of ways that people wouldn't [expect].

"Therapy for the burn injury stopped years ago. I've had therapy since for normal things in life that people go through that aren't visible.

"I've been to couples therapy with Rich. It helps because it validates what you're going through.”
