For those who like to get things off their chest by writing them down.
Don't fancy speaking to a counsellor in real time? Not a problem. Message a Counsellor lets you send the details of your issue in an email instead. It's equivalent to one hour of counselling, but without ever needing to leave the comfort of your sofa.
Once they've received your message, your counsellor will help you to understand the difficulties you're experiencing and support you to think about ways to change things. They'll aim to respond with a personal reply within five working days, however at times of high demand this might take a little longer.
Message a counsellor is private, confidential, and non-judgemental. Better yet, you'll get their response straight to your inbox so you can refer back to it whenever you need. Each message from your counsellor costs £45 -- and you can keep working with them for as long as you find it helpful, just by coming back to this page.
Email a Counsellor is on pause whilst we refresh it for 2024! We'll be back soon, but if you're still looking to speak to a Relate counsellor in the meantime, you can use our Find your Centre tool or access our short intervention services, Chat with a Counsellor and One Session Therapy.
