Welcome to Relate Plymouth
Fed up with arguing! Feel stressed that your relationship is going badly? Relate counsellors know all about these things as our organisation has been around for 70 years and has a wealth of experience working with individuals and couples.
We know that relationships aren’t easy. They are subject to all the stresses and strains of daily life and they can be hard work. It’s not easy to find the time and energy to face up to problems and difficulties - but its not impossible. We believe that with the right support you can make a relationship work. Perhaps you and your partner keep having the same old arguments. We can show you how to break the cycle. Is talking to your teenager like talking to a brick wall? We can help you have a two-way conversation! Maybe you would like to be more assertive at work? We can give you the confidence you need to stand up for yourself! Relates’ aim is not to force people to stay together if they don’t want to, but to enable them to reach their own decisions about what is right for them.
Daily life brings problems. Some of them can be sorted out; others can’t and last for years, becoming a part of daily life. The wear and tear of ordinary problems take their toll and can between you and your partner if you let them - but they can also unite you more closely then happy events? Sounds strange? Weathering bad times together, sharing your thoughts and feelings on them, working through solutions - even learning to endure what can’t be improved - all add a depth and commitment to a relationship. Every time you face a problems together and come through, your relationship is strengthened. You have shown yourselves that ou can survive difficulties, and that gives you the courage to deal with others that might come along. To survive these difficulties, the problems must be faced.
Ignoring problems by not dealing with them is common. So don’t leave things until it’s too late. Come and have a chat with a Relate Counsellor - you’ll be surprised how easy it is!
