“Family Counselling provided a safe, calm situation for discussion. The counsellor dealt with a tricky issues calmly and sensitively. They were able to skillfully challenge and support all parties interpretation and listening so misconceptions were addressed and  resolved.

To my immense relief and gratitude, they were able to resolve what felt like an impossible situation by being a sensitive, impartial ‘bridge’ between us all. Thanks to them we all have a better understanding of each other and ourselves. We would not be in such a positive, hopeful place without their help and guidance with ongoing useful tools. I wholeheartedly recommend the family counselling service offered by Relate”

“I was struggling with relationships in my life, mainly that of my marriage. This was heavily in part I was also struggling with my identity having recently become a mum and having been financially independent all my life to having to rely on my partner. I’d exhausted all the advice from family and friends before seeking professional guidance and advice. It felt the communication and conversation had disappeared from my marriage and everything had turned into ‘baby, baby, baby’. We’d both lost ourselves.

My in-laws (who’ve been married for over 40 years!) used Relate when they hit a change in their marriage and highly recommended them.

When meeting our counsellor, she was approachable, created a safe space for us and listened to our issues, even when we were not listening to each other.  She explained sometimes why things in relationships break and each week gave us tools how to repair and reinstate our relationship.

We also opted for individual counselling sessions which helped me to express myself freely and get tailored advice for other issues which were affecting my marriage.

In a short period of time, my partner and I are and have been on the same page ever since. When we have arguments or disagreements we use the tools which were provided by Relate to work together instead of fighting. We’ve also learnt to accept each other strengths. I personally have learnt to relinquish control and ask for help when needed. I often hear others say ‘use your words’ which is exactly what Relate has taught me to do!”

“I came along with my partner as we were arguing constantly, not big arguments but constant small niggles and snipes at each other which were wearing us both down and making us both unhappy.  We decided on Relate as they are a longstanding service which we had both heard of and thought they would have the experience and understanding that we needed essentially for couples. We were both definite that we did not want to split up, we were clear on that, but that we could not carry on as we were.

We were able to chat openly and honestly about contentious issues in a neutral surrounding with excellent guidance and support from our counsellor. We learnt a lot about each other and also learnt how childhood experiences and relationships with important people in our lives had shaped us into the people we are now, and how some of this may affect our behaviour and thinking.

We learned and practised different exercises in how to speak and more importantly really listen to each other, not all of them worked for us, but the point was to find at least one that did, and we have. Our lives together now, as a result of the counselling, are calmer, happier and I feel that I am embraced once again in a loving relationship.”
