All Relate Counsellors are trained to understand domestic abuse and the impact of it upon relationships. Relate recognises that 1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse within their lifetime. If you are affected by domectic abuse, you can talk to us about it. Within this context Relate offer the following:

Couple Work
If you are experiencing domestic abuse, Relate will need to understand the level and extent of abuse within the relationship prior to being able to offer couple work. Couple work can not be guaranteed until this process has been undertaken. We must do this to ensure that couple work can happen openly and safely, for all parties involved.

Survivor Work
Relate can work individually with survivors of domestic abuse.

To arrange an appointment, please telephone 01604 634400.

Perpetrator Service
Relate recognises that some of our clients will have experienced or will be experiencing domestic abuse, this can be from either a victim's or a perpetrator's perspective. It is our agency's policy to protect victim or survivors and their family by providing safe services for this client group.
