Relate helps 150,000 people a year. We benefit from the wealth of expertise that comes from dealing with that large quantity and variety of contact with clients and casework over many years. We have two main centres in Brighton and in Worthing. Appointments are available in the day or the evening during the week and on Saturday and Sunday mornings. We also have counselling rooms in Haywards Heath, Eastbourne and Lewes.

Most of our services are provided in the safe, confidential and supportive setting of a Relate centre. They include:

• Consultation with a Counsellor - a single session with a counsellor can help you decide whether counselling is the best form of help. It will help you identify the difficulties in the relationship whilst considering which of our services might be most helpful. For some people, the one session might be enough.
• Couple Support - for adults experiencing difficulties in their relationship - whether you are a couple or an individual, married or in a partnership, separated, divorced or divorcing, straight or gay - whatever your age, race or social background. Our clients come with lots of problems including step-families, affairs, communication issues, depression, money worries, unsatisfying sex lives, balancing work and home, sexual abuse, domestic violence, alcohol and/or drug problems.
• Sexual Therapy - available for couples or individuals who have specific sexual problems.
• Family Support - our family counselling service works with the whole family, including children. This can be helpful where problems or significant changes are affecting the whole family, like bereavement, step-relationships, or moving to a new area.
• Life Skills Courses
• Company training - Relate is the leading provider of relationship counselling and training in the UK.

We also offer telephone counselling. This service is provided by Relate’s national organisation. Click on www.relate.org.uk/wantadvice/counsellingbyphone/ to find out more. Calls typically last between 10-20 minutes and you have the opportunity to speak with a counsellor about what is troubling you. Your difficulties may be resolved there and then or you may wish to come to your local Relate centre for further help - or to phone again.
