What We Do

We provide the following services - please click on the links for further details 

Relationship Counselling 

Whether you're having problems in your relationship or you'd just like to understand your partner better, talking things through with one of our counsellors can make a real difference.

Relationship Counselling

is for everyone. Whether you're married, single, living together or apart, straight or gay we can help you strengthen your relationships. 

Family Counselling 

If things are feeling a little strained in your family it can help to sit down with a family counsellor and talk things through together.  

Children and Young People's Counselling

There are lots of reasons why you might need a bit of extra help with things going on in your life - problems with friends, parents teachers or in your love life. 

If you're not feeling like yourself, talking to someone who's not involved in what's going on can really help.

Web and Telephone Counselling

Using web or internet based tools is a convenient way to talk to a counsellor; Relate Dorset & South Wiltshire is now offering web facilitated access to a counsellor. 

If you are unable to travel to one of our centres or can't make the time, or unable to make arrangements for child care or even the dog, it's an easy way to fit a counselling session into your life.

If you and your partner live in different places webcam counselling is an easy way for you both to take part in a session from separate locations.

Mediation

We offer an online mediation service for couples who have decided to separate to help agree things such as finances and co-parenting details, to allow them to come to a joint agreement on issues.

Supervised Child Contact Sessions 

Our supervised child contactsessions at our Poundbury Centre provide a safe environment for children from separated families to have contact with their parents or other important people in their lives.

Fees

Relate is a charity and each session costs significantly more than the fee you’re charged.  We ask for a contribution of £70 for an evening appointment and £60 for daytime for Relationship Counselling, Family Counselling  and Sex Therapy, £75 for Family Counselling and £60 for Young People’s Counselling. If you think you’ll find it difficult to pay, you may be able to access one of our bursary schemes, and we can discuss this with you when you speak to our booking team on 01302 380900 or email [email protected].
