Relate Avon is an independent charity that has been providing essential relationship support since the 1940s. As part of the national Relate federation, the UK’s largest provider of relationship support, we work towards fostering a society where healthy relationships are the foundation of thriving communities.
We operate across four local authorities – Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES), and North Somerset. Our centres in Bristol and Bath, as well as our online services, provide a wide range of professional counselling to individuals, couples, and families.
At Relate Avon, we understand that relationships, whether with a partner, family, or friends, are central to emotional well-being. Our relationship counselling services support individuals and couples who are experiencing challenges in their relationships. We help to identify the root causes of conflicts, offering strategies to manage differences, improve communication, and rebuild trust. Whether you are facing difficulties in a long-term partnership or trying to navigate the early stages of a relationship, our counsellors are here to support you.
Families often face complex challenges, from managing stress to resolving conflicts. Our family counselling service is designed to help families communicate more effectively, rebuild trust, and strengthen their bonds. Whether dealing with parenting issues, step-family dynamics, or conflicts between generations, we offer a safe space to explore family issues and work towards healthier relationships.
At times, individuals may need support navigating the complexities of their personal relationships, be it with family members, friends, or romantic partners. Our individual counselling services are tailored to help people explore their emotions, gain self-awareness, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Whether you’re struggling with loneliness, low self-esteem, or difficulties in your personal life, we offer a supportive environment to help you work through your challenges.
Understanding the need for accessibility, Relate Avon offers online counselling services to individuals, couples, and families. Our online therapy options allow you to receive professional relationship support from the comfort of your own home. This flexible approach makes it easier for people to access the support they need, regardless of location or other logistical constraints.
Relate Avon has been offering relationship support for over 80 years, with our services continuing to evolve to meet the needs of the local community. Originally founded as branches of the Marriage Guidance Council, we have expanded our reach to include a diverse range of individuals and relationship structures. In 1988, we embraced a broader vision, changing our name to Relate to reflect our commitment to supporting single people, cohabiting couples, same-sex couples, and families.
In 2000, our centres in Bristol and Bath merged to form Relate Avon, consolidating our resources and extending our capacity to help even more people. Since then, we’ve helped tens of thousands of people, holding hundreds of thousands of counselling sessions. Our experienced and dedicated team of counsellors continues to work tirelessly to support people in building and maintaining healthy, fulfilling relationships.
As a charity, we are governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees who are committed to ensuring that everyone has access to relationship support, regardless of their background or circumstances.
If you’re struggling with relationship issues or seeking guidance on how to navigate personal challenges, contact Relate Avon today to take the first step towards a healthier, happier future.
