Dear concerned, your presentation of the problem is not enough to come to an understanding of your case & advice.

Dear human, thank you for sharing and reaching out. Firstly I would appreciate the thought of considering couples therapy for these concerns. It's the first step in one's mental health journey, it take strength and courage.
From what you've said, it sounds like the partner has trust issues and this hinders a healthy relationship. This sounds quite disappointing and I understand that it can take a toll on mental health.
To answer your question, yes couples therapy can help to manage this concern if and only if both of them are willing to take therapy. Even if one of them is not considering therapy, the therapeutic process might be of no use for you as a couple. Therapy helps to unravel your thought patterns in accordance to this relationship and would make you realise where it went wrong. Both of you might need individual therapy, it depends on your thoughts, how your perspectives are and the root cause for the current concern.
Once you consult a couple's therapist, they would guide you accordingly.
Hope this helps :) Take care!
