Is it for you?

Everyone has family arguments at some time. Usually these are easily resolved or blow over, but sometimes they just get worse. This is when a Relate Family Counsellor can help you work things out in a way that's best for everyone.

Our Relate for Families service involves meetings between a specially-trained counsellor and a number of household or family members. These could be parents/step-parents, children and stepchildren, grandparents or anyone closely involved; anyone who is affected by what's happening or feels they may have a part to play in resolving an issue. After an initial Consultation, which may last up to 90 minutes, the counsellor may meet with different members at meetings which will be held every 2 or 3 weeks. The counsellor will discuss with those attending the Consultation which members will attend further sessions.

Sessions will concentrate on opening up new lines of communication and understanding between family or household members and can result in a significant change in behaviour after only a few sessions.
