The Relationships Service (Formerly Relate London North West, Hertfordshire, Mid Thames and Buckinghamshire)
Counselling & Family Mediation
The Relationships Service is a long-established BACP-accredited charity offering affordable, high-quality counselling and mediation services since we were known as Marriage Guidance Counsel in 1946.
We support individuals, couples (including polyamorous relationships), families, and young people through a wide range of therapeutic services. Our sessions are available in-person, online (Zoom), or by phone, ensuring flexible access across London and other areas.

🤝 Counselling & Mediation Support
If you’re experiencing relationship difficulties, you don’t need to suffer in silence. Our focused, compassionate counsellors can help you explore the best path forward—whether that means rebuilding your relationship or separating with clarity and support.
Our Family Mediation service provides a confidential space to resolve disputes around children, property, and finances. Mediation is often faster, less costly, and more collaborative than going to court.
We offer:
• FREE mediation for clients eligible for Legal Aid
• Up to £500 in support via the Family Mediation Voucher Scheme
