Payment can be made by card, cheque or cash.

Firstly you will meet with a counsellor for a consultation.  The counsellor will explore with you what you want to achieve or change in your relationship.  if you and the counsellor agree that counselling at Relate will be useful you will have regular sessions with a counsellor where you’ll talk about what is affecting your relationship and agree the best way forward. These ongoing sessions will always be with the same counsellor. On average clients attend for 5-6 sessions. You and your counsellor will discuss this.

In your ongoing session the counsellor will go into more depth with the issues you want to ralk about. You will probably find yourself thinking about things differently.

if you are attending with your partner or family, hearing what they say can be very helpful in understanding where you are & what could be done.

You can telephone the Centre on 0116 2543011 and make an appointment.  If you ring out-of-hours or we cannot answer because we are on another call, please leave a message on the answer phone and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Relate counselling is confidential.  The only time we make an exception would be if someone’s personal safety was at risk. 

We aim to offer you an initial appointment with a counsellor within 1 – 2 weeks of you registering.  There is not normally too long a wait for ongoing counselling - it depends on your availability. 

We are used to this at Relate.  You may have children, a partner, work colleagues or other people who you do not want to learn that you are attending counselling.  We will not tell anyone about your counselling to ensure your privacy is maintained at all times.

All information will remain confidential within Relate.


 

All Relate counsellors have received special training in working with couples.  

Some counsellors choose to specialise in associated fields such as sex therapy or family counselling.  In line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy guidelines, all Relate counsellors continue to receive ongoing professional training throughout their counselling career and regular supervision.

Each year our Centre has two or three Counsellors in Training.  They have been trained, but are working towards becoming fully qualified.  You may be asked if you would mind seeing a Counsellor in Training.  When counsellors are ‘in training’  they receive very close professional support.
