Relate Media Team
Relate has a team of counsellors and sex therapists who are on call to respond to media requests. They offer responses to news stories, comment for features and are happy to discuss commissions for editorial work. We also offer contributions to proposals for TV productions, undertake consultancy work with programme makers as well as provide on-screen experts.

We do receive a high volume of requests and will prioritise those according to your deadlines. If you are contacting us from a television production company or PR firm it will help us to deal with your request promptly if you send an email outlining how you would like Relate to be involved.

Making a TV programme? Not been commissioned yet?
We're more than happy to discuss ideas with you to help you get proposals off the ground. However we get around 3 or 4 production companies calling us every week and end up being involved in just a handful of projects every year.
It really helps if you have done your homework on the services Relate provides, and you bear in mind that Relate is a charity with limited resources. It would be great to give all calling production companies a few hours to chat to a counsellor but it simply isn't possible, they're busy counselling! Keep calling though - we love hearing your ideas and always help when we can.
Been commissioned?
If you want Relate to be involved with your project call the press office to discuss how we might work together. If you're looking for expert input either on-screen or off Relate's Media Team offer a wide-range of personalities and areas of expertise - and they're all great in front of the camera. If you're looking for members of the public to take part in your programme we can occasionally circulate requests through the organisation. But please note, we can only do this for programmes we are actively involved with due to the extremely high volume of requests we receive.
