Relate counselling services; Bedford

Everyone has family arguments at some time. Usually these are easily resolved or blow over, but sometimes they just get worse. Big changes in a family can cause stress for everyone. Divorce or separation doesn't just affect the adults in a relationship – it can affect the way children view relationships for life. Long running disputes can cause pain to the whole family, making it difficult or impossible to live under the same roof, and the problems one person may be going through can impact on other family members.

If your family is having problems, Relate Family Counselling offers a flexible approach to sorting out your problems. You can see one of their Family Counsellors individually, as a small group or the whole family together to help you work things out in a way that best suits everyone.

Across Bedfordshire and Luton, there is financial support offered for families unable to pay the full rate.
