Trust Assessment FAQ
Important context for using this tool responsibly, understanding its limits, and finding support in 2026.
This is a therapeutic screening tool designed for use in couples therapy contexts. It evaluates common behavioural indicators associated with trust concerns in relationships. It is NOT a definitive diagnosis of infidelity โ rather, it helps individuals identify patterns that may warrant professional discussion with a qualified therapist.
No. This calculator cannot prove infidelity. Many of the behavioural indicators it assesses can also be caused by stress, depression, work pressures, health issues, or other relationship challenges. Only open, honest communication and professional therapeutic guidance can help address trust concerns in a relationship.
The assessment is based on commonly recognised relationship psychology indicators, but it is a self-report screening tool only. Accuracy depends entirely on honest self-assessment. It should never be used as evidence or to confront a partner. Think of it as a starting point for reflection or therapy, not a verdict.
Therapists generally advise against using screening tools as confrontation material. If you’re experiencing trust concerns, the healthiest approach is to discuss your feelings openly with your partner, ideally with the support of a qualified couples therapist. The calculator can help you articulate what you’ve noticed, but the conversation matters more than the score.
A high score indicates significant trust concerns that deserve attention โ but it doesn’t confirm wrongdoing. Recommended steps include: (1) seeking a qualified couples therapist, (2) having an honest, non-accusatory conversation with your partner, (3) practising self-care, and (4) avoiding impulsive decisions based solely on suspicion. Individual therapy can also help you process your emotions.
Yes. This calculator runs entirely in your browser โ no data is sent to any server, stored, or shared. Your responses remain completely private. You can use it anonymously and clear your browser history afterward for additional peace of mind.
You can find accredited couples therapists through Relate (relate.org.uk), the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (bacp.co.uk), or the UK Council for Psychotherapy (psychotherapy.org.uk). Many therapists offer online sessions, and some provide sliding-scale fees based on income.
