A friends' marriage is breaking down and I said I would find out a bit about Relate for her.

Anyone know? The website is not clear.

Thanks

They have a starting point for fees! but you can negotiate if you are on low income.

I'm in Hampshire and it was £40 a session, but we got it for £30. In fact we probably could have got it a bit cheaper as we were broke, £30 was still a lot of money.

Between £20 and £40 per session, depeding upon income.

hi ive had some counselling recently from them, the first assesment was £45 then they offered me 4 sessions at £20 each, becuase i am currently on no income and i was going on my own. i think usually they say 6 sessions but as i was getting it so cheap they said i could only have 4

We went to relate a couple of years ago. It depends on your income as to what the sessions cost. we had to pay #60 per session!! We were classed as high earners- we're definatley not- I'm a nurse and my husband is a bricklayer. We only went twice- we were having more arguments over the price of the sessions as we were skint!
