What is this service?

It doesn't matter if you’re on your own, married, living together, single, gay, bi/pansexual, straight or transgender - we’re here to help you, however you identify.

At Relate, we have experience in counselling people from different backgrounds, including LGBT individuals and couples, so you can rest assured you'll find a counsellor to meet your needs.

Lots of people have an idea of what relationship counselling is and think that you only need counselling when things get really bad. But we're here whenever you need us, no matter what situation you face in your relationship. Even if your problems seem trivial, we can help.

Together we will first help you to identify the issues or problems you are facing in your relationship. If you decide couple counselling is the way forward for both of you, you will embark on a series of short-term counselling sessions - anything between six and twelve sessions is normal, but it will depend on the issues you are experiencing.

Find your local Relate centre here.
