1 in 3 children under 16 will have witnessed their parents separation.
Over 15,000 children and young people are helped each year by Relate counselling.
41% of Relate clients felt that seeking help with their couple relationship had a positive effect on their children’s behaviour.
Relate children and young people’s counselling service is for any young person who is having problems at home. Our counsellors are able to help you to talk about anything that is worrying you.
Children and young people tell us that seeing a Relate counsellor helps because they are independent of either your school or home life. Our counsellors help you to talk honestly and openly and can support you with problems like family breakdown; moving in with a second family; or bullying at school.
Counselling for families helps you to understand and cope better with the stresses and strains of family life. Families can be a source of support, encouragement and love but sometimes relationships within families are put under strain and family members feel isolated or overlooked.
Family counselling can help when siblings aren’t getting on, or parents and children are going through a divorce or separation. Forming a new family is a challenge and it is at this point that many parents contact Relate for some support to help everyone settle.
