No. Many organisations and GPs do refer people to Relate but you can contact Relate directly if you would like to talk about anything to do with relationships.

Relate counsellors have all received special training in couple counselling and various counselling subjects. It takes two to three years to become a fully qualified Relate counsellor.

They undergo further training to specialise in areas such as family counselling and sex therapy.We may talk to you about seeing a ‘counsellor-in-training’. Counsellors-in-training’ have gone through a rigorous selection and training process and will be receiving close professional support. All counsellors continue with ongoing training and consultation with other professionals to ensure they give you the highest standard of counselling.

Counselling helps you take time out from your situation and see it from a fresh perspective. Working with a counsellor gives you, or you and your partner/family, a chance to think about what you can do to change your situation for the better. It can also give you a chance to explore complex or difficult issues in a safe and confidential environment.
