LGBTQ+ Relationship Counselling
We're the largest provider of relationship counselling for people from every culture, community, and corner of England and Wales.
Every relationship is unique, and LGBTQ+ intimate partners can face specific challenges related to their identities, experiences, and the social dynamics around them. At Relate, we understand that LGBTQ+ relationships may encounter distinct pressures and complexities, whether from societal expectations, family acceptance, or navigating life in a world that may not always be supportive.

What is relationship counselling?
LGBTQ+ counselling and couples therapy at Relate is a supportive and collaborative service designed to help you navigate the issues that sometimes arise where relationships are concerned.
Our approach is inclusive and respectful of all relationship types. We avoid assumptions about what a relationship should look like, recognising the unique qualities each one brings. In our sessions, we create a safe, non-judgmental space where every voice is heard and valued.
Our couple and individual counsellors are trained professionals who work with you to explore relationship issues, understand underlying patterns, and develop strategies for positive change. Whether you're facing communication challenges, changes in your relationship, or you want to strengthen your bond, our counselling sessions for couples and intimate partners are tailored to meet your specific needs.
We believe relationship counselling and therapy for couples and intimate partners is not just about addressing problems but also about building a foundation for a stronger, more fulfilling partnership. It's about learning, growing, and finding ways to connect more deeply with each other.
At Relate, we're here to support you every step of the way, empowering you and your partner to navigate your relationship's journey with confidence, understanding, and respect.
