About Us

Formerly known as Relate Hull and East Yorkshire, we have over 70 years of experience and we continue to help people strengthen their relationships and pick up the pieces and start over again, as well as supporting couples, young people and families before things reach crisis point.

We look to enhance the quality of couple, parental and family relationships. To limit the damage which commonly accompanies failing relationships, separation and divorce and increase the prospect of subsequent relationships succeeding.

We also offer individual counselling for those who want support – whether that’s with their relationships or something else entirely. Typically, people looking for individual counselling might be struggling with things like depression, anxiety, stress, bullying, grief, low-self-esteem or a recent or past trauma. Others seek individual counselling as they reach a milestone or transition point in their life, such as changing careers or becoming a parent.

We aim to deliver our service with cultural sensitivity and without discrimination.

Our services can support your relationships through all the stages of your life; from being a child, through to your teenage years, becoming a couple, a parent, a grandparent and retiring into old age.

We all know someone who has been affected by the breakup of a relationship and many of us have first-hand experience of the pain it can cause. In the worst cases relationship difficulties lead to people having mental health problems, losing their job, becoming homeless as well as facing debt, loneliness, and isolation.

Our professionally trained counsellors will support you in a non-judgemental way whether you are older, younger, straight, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, black, white…. Our counsellors and trainers will always give you the respect you deserve.

We have trained counsellors waiting to help when people make the brave decision to call and talk about their very private problems. By calling Hull and East Yorkshire Counselling or visiting you can get confidential help and support. We will not normally give your name or any information from or about you to anyone outside the organisation unless we have reason to believe that someone, especially a child, is at risk of serious harm.
