Britney Spears and hubby Kevin Federline have reportedly sought the services of a professional counsellor to save their crumbling marriage.

According to Contactmusic, sources have told Life + Style magazine that the couple has engaged a 1,000 dollars-an-hour expert for twice-a-week counselling sessions to help them get their marriage back on track.

Spears, who is almost seven months pregnant with the couple's second child, has also reportedly told pals, "We need this".

However, the counselling sessions won't be taking place in the therapist's plush office, for they will be held at the couple's Malibu, California mansion. (ANI)
