Cheryl Cole has reportedly agreed to see a marriage counsellor with her estranged husband Ashley.

The Daily Mail reports that Cheryl is beginning to accept some responsibility for the marriage breakdown and that the first counselling session will take place next week in the couple’s Surrey mansion.

A source told the newspaper: “Cheryl has agreed to see a counsellor with Ashley to hear his issues. She think he deserves to be heard and understands how he could think that she let him down as a wife.

“In essence, she is starting to accept his claim that it is not solely his fault their marriage collapsed.”

The Girls Aloud star last month dumped Ashley following allegations that he had cheated on her with a series of women.

“Of course, Cheryl is devastated and furious at what he’s done,” the insider added. “But she accepts she owes it to their marriage to talk it through with him.”
