Relate

What are the Services Relate Provides?

Relationship counselling for couples and individuals

Relationship counselling with trained practitioners is available at 400 locations around the UK . People can take up counselling with or without their partner, and many single people come to Relate to sort out issues with past relationships and to get them on the right track with future ones.

As well as face-to-face counselling, people access Relate counselling by telephone:

Relate Direct – 0300 100 1234

Relate Direct is a national telephone counselling service that offers the opportunity to arrange counselling sessions at a time and location most convenient to the client. Counselling can be done with one client or both partners. Relate Direct can even provide counselling on a three-way telephone call if partners are in different locations.

Sessions are arranged on Relate Direct’s central booking line: 0300 100 1234. Qualified staff will organise a suitable time (including evenings and weekends) and arrange payment. The counsellor will then call at the specified time.

Sex therapy

The largest provider of sex therapy in the UK, last year Relate helped 5,000 people experiencing difficulties in their sex lives.

Sexual problems can have a devastating effect on even the strongest of relationships, though people find it hard to face up to difficulties and seek help. Our specially trained counsellors, at 400 locations around the UK, are experienced in helping people deal with a range of sexual problems including impotence and loss of sexual desire. They will help people explore the reasons behind the problem and look at ways of addressing it. They will give clients simple exercises to be carried out in the privacy of their own homes. Our psychosexual therapy service is highly successful, with 93% of both men and women who completed treatment in 1998-99 reporting a significant improvement in their sexual relationship.

Releate books, published by Vermilion, cover a range of common issues that face people in their relationships. Many people choose this as an appropriate way of accessing Relate expertise. Relate books can be found in most major bookshops nationwide.

Relate Courses

Relate believes that relationship skills can be learnt and that it helps considerably to talk about relationships with other people who are going through similar things. Relate’s life-skills courses are designed to give people insights into themselves, and gain a greater understanding of their relationships.

Courses are run regionally in small groups, as daylong sessions or over a number of evenings. They are low cost and are often formally accredited.

Following divorce or separation many people feel a sense of loss and find it hard to adjust to their new life. This course will helps people understand the feelings they may be experiencing, and move on with confidence. Group participants benefit from talking to other people going through similar things.

Taking Charge of your Life helps people become more assertive, manage time better and cope with the effects of stress in their lives.

This course helps people to build better relationships with their teenage children. It looks at different parenting styles, as well as the different things that influence the way teenagers behave.

Relate for Young People

Relate works directly with young people, in schools, community groups, exclusion units and Young Offenders' Institutions. It also provides training for teachers, youth workers and others who work with young people in skills that can help them and those they work with to explore how to develop and sustain healthy relationships.

Relate runs courses on self-esteem, coping with bullying, sex and sexuality, and first relationships.

Relateen, is offered in some regions and is a confidential counselling service for young people who are suffering as a result of their parents' separation or divorce.

In some areas Relate has schemes to train young people to become peer listeners, using basic counselling skills to help others through difficult times in their lives.

Mediation

In some regions Relate offers a mediation service. For those separating, Relate's mediation service helps them manage the separation in the most positive way possible. Mediation is very different from counselling. It helps people deal with the practicalities of relationship breakdown, from financial considerations to parenting issues. Mediation will helps reach an agreement without conflict.
