We offer compassionate support for individuals, couples, and families facing relationship challenges. Through counselling or mediation, our confidential approach helps you find tailored solutions and guides you toward healing and resolution.
Our relationship counselling offers a confidential space to explore concerns and find solutions.
Opt 1: Counselling
Counselling offers a caring, confidential and supportive environment in which you can examine problems and think about ways to address them. Counselling can take place online via Zoom or in person in one of our venues.
In your first session you’ll be seen by a trained Relate counsellor who will ask you questions about your relationship and what you hope to get from counselling. They might also ask you about any problems you’re experiencing, when they started and what changes you would like to see happen.
If you want to book another session your counsellor will ask you what days and times are best for you and you’ll talk about the cost of your counselling. See our FAQ Counselling sheet.
You might meet only once, or you might meet once a week for an extended period of time. What kind of counselling you receive, and how long counselling continues, all depends on you and what kind of issues you want to address.
People come to see us for lots of different reasons.
You may be in a relationship where you’re arguing a lot or you might be struggling to talk to your partner. You might be thinking about ending your relationship or coming to terms with a break up.
You might be a couple who feel that your relationship could do with a MOT to make it even stronger or you’re a couple who have chosen to separate and want to do it in the healthiest way possible. Or you’re not in a relationship right now and want to look at why.
Whatever the issue, your counsellor will not judge you and everything you say will be confidential.
We understand that financial challenges can arise, and we are committed to offering affordable counselling services.
