There are still lots of misconceptions about Relationship Counselling, including who it’s for, when to seek support and what actually happens in a session.

At Relate, we embrace the principle that ‘prevention is better than cure’. Relationship support can be extremely invaluable for couples who are concerned or struggling with challenges in their interpersonal dynamics.

Whether you are dealing with relationship difficulties or undergoing significant life changes, our therapy sessions offer a pathway to fostering healthier and more resilient relationships.

Family relationships can become difficult during times of change.

Family Talks is a new Family Mediation Service from Relate NI, helping family members talk, listen and find a way forward.

The service can support parents, adult children, grandparents, siblings and wider family members who may be experiencing conflict, communication difficulties, family restructuring, separation, divorce, poor health or changing circumstances.

Each family member is offered an individual, confidential meeting with a mediator. When the mediation timing is assessed as suitable for all, and family members wish to take part, joint mediation sessions can then be arranged.

Mediators are impartial. They do not take sides, make judgements or tell families what to do. They support family members to explore options and make their own decisions about the future.

To find out more, email [email protected] and quote Family Talks in the subject line.

Funded by Dormant Assets NI, delivered by The National Lottery Community Fund.
