Counselling Services

Relate Mid-Yorkshirecan help you even if you are not currently in a relationship. Many people believe that Relate Mid-Yorkshire is only here to help with the major crises in people’s relationships and yes, we are the first source of help when people face divorce or separation; affairs or major conflict, but we are also here for the worries that might seem trivial or minor. Even if things are going perfectly for you, we can help you keep things that way. We do this by helping you to find the support that is best for you and at a time to fit in with your life.

How you'll benefit from counselling really depends on what you want to get out of it, but it is rare that you will leave Relate without feeling a positive change. For some people we transform their relationships and their lives; for others we help them solve a specific problem and move forward with more confidence and less anxiety

Relate counselling is private and confidential. We hold information about clients and their counselling in the strictest confidence. We will not give your name or any information from or about you to anyone else unless someone, especially a child, is at serious risk of harm. In such a situation we would try to involve you in decisions about any action to be taken.

Earlier this year, BBC2 aired the UK’s first animated documentary following Relate clients through counselling. To view clips from the documentary and others, please click on this link A taste of Relate's work

“My clients are genuinely surprised when we start working together – they think
that I am going to tell them what to do, but it’s not like that. They also come in
feeling nervous and apprehensive but once we have met a few times, they even
start to enjoy it. At the end of the day, it’s a brave move to come to Relate, but
for almost everyone, it’s one of the best moves they have made.”
