Relate Avis 

Please save yourself time, stress and money. Terrible organisation. They took our money and never came back to us , we were really struggling and needed help.. we could have gone somewhere else .

Dont waste your time and money.

Had relationship counselling when my partnership was on the brink of separation. We separated completely after our first together-session with our counsellor. She pitted us against each other and took sides. A good counsellor will challenge clients if they are trying to get them to see another perspective; she was just confrontational. It caused so many more arguments and tension between me and partner. We had one more session and decided she was unprofessional and making things worse. She made us into enemies. Was far too strongly opinionated in how we parented our daughter and even mum-shamed me at one point. We are now stronger than ever after we left Relate and joined a different service with a much better counsellor.

I had a counsellor who I didn't click with, really didn't understand or help me. I think this may just be a problem of differing personalities or whatever. But when I tried to change counsellor after 7/8 sessions they cancelled my sessions with the existing one, and just told me I might not be allowed to change after so many lessons. So now I have no counsellor, and every time I ring they say I'll have to wait and see. To be clear, I'm not waiting for them to find a counseller, which I know can take time, I'm waiting to be told if I'm even allowed to change - but they've already cancelled my previous sessions. I'm deeply unhappy at this service

Very helpful online booklet.

took the test to see if i am compatible with my partner and oh wow the results are so accurate that it made me feel so vulnerable🥹 it’s very true that i have quite similar views but when we disagree on things i tend to stay quiet and not really speak up because i tend to avoid problems and i’m not confident enough to speak up. i don’t know what to do about it yet but i guess i need to work on it.

Article is very helpful, this as serve as a trigger for memory seek help

I really helps me. Great advice and it really makes a difference for me

Thank you Relate Nottingham for your support! I will be forever grateful 🙏

Really helpful toolkits on relationship audit and deciding to get married. Me and my partner have found them very useful for supporting us in discussing things, looking at the strengths in oir relationship and celebrating them, as well as being able to be open about challenges. And the kits are amazingly good value at £20 each.

I was googling and currently doing some research on trial separation, may be leading to separation for a friend ( Known him since my school days) with 2 children over 9 years going to private school .

plus prepare for contacts and what are the financial losses for men today. in UK

IT may (god willing it will never happen)

The description and advice in your calls are very good. And the explanations of how to help a relationship are brilliant you Note things that people think but don’t say and that is really helpful

Sent a message to relate as myself and my partner purchased the same pack by mistake, I emailed to ask if I could get a link to the other one. But there was no response.

Perhaps they could work on their communication too 😏

Ordered online resources and the wrong one arrived due to a tech glitch. Spent hours on the phone trying to get the right information and two days later they sent another incorrect info. No response to my email outlining the error - waste of time and money for online self help resources

This service is offering practical and relevant information for a variety of relationship and personal issues and situations. Very happy with the service.

I suffer with cptsd and relationships problems, my relate coach is A M A Z I N G! Wendy is worth her weight in gold ,she always gives me great advice and Wendy is really helping me and my husband Mark through hard times. Thank you so much relate for sending Wendy our way ❤️ Our counciling is still on going.

Arranged my first meeting so swiftly and everyone was so professional and friendly.

They really put my mind at rest and helped me come to a decision. They understood what I was going through. Would definitely recommend Relate

Got my second session booked. Nobody showed up, waited 15minsin zoom room. No showed and no explanation. Chased this up, relate apologised, offered refund but have an elongated refund policy I assume to deter the refund, involving emailing multiple addresses, completing forms and sending back. You wasted my time already why are you still wasting it. I can see why the NHS no longer affiliate with this company

I did some sessions for quite some time with a reviewed therapist on here. Her name was Martina Bador. She broke confidentiality and was very careless. Ive been extremely unwell for many years because of this. This company needs a lot of improving:(
