What we do

We're here to help you make the most of your relationships; past, present or future.

We are a source of support

We have a network of Relate Centres across the UK and a group of licensed local counsellors that provide face-to-face counselling and support. Our counselling services include relationship counselling, family counselling, mediation, children's counselling, young people's counselling and sex therapy. For those who are in more need of a quick chat than ongoing support, we offer 30 minute chats with a counsellor over the phone or on web chat, or one session therapy designed to tackle a specific issue and see results straight away.

But the support we offer doesn't end there. Our get help pages offer practical tips to help you manage common relationship issues from how to get over a friendship breakup to deciding whether you want to try for kids or not and everything in between.

We also offer a series of toolkits and courses for those who'd prefer to strengthen their relationships without the assistance of a counsellor or wellbeing advisor.

We are a force for change

We work to champion the importance of relationships in society and in the media. We work with the government to ensure relationship support is kept at the heart of public policy. We carry out research to determine how our relationships are changing and make recommendations on how government policy should respond.
