Case Study

Are you or have you been a Relate client? Do you feel you could share your experience?

If so we would like to hear from you.

Many people have misconceptions about counselling and getting relationship support. Relate wants to be able to show more people that getting help can make a big difference. The best way to do that is by sharing stories and testimonies from people who have experienced counselling and can talk from personal experience about the impact it has had on their lives.

Below is a confidential form for you to use to share your story. Your experience could help us reach out to people through the media and national marketing campaigns but you can decide how much information you give and please only share what you are comfortable with.

Please only provide contact information if you are happy to be contacted by Relate.
