Relate training is provided by the Relate Institute in Doncaster, where courses are validated by the University of Hull to postgraduate/masters level.
The Relate Approach is informed by:
- The psychodynamic approach to therapy, exploring and understanding unconscious drives and past events that impact on current situations.
- A behavioural approach where a persons actions and responses are explored to elicit understanding and potential change.
- The systemic approach, where wider systems such as familial and cultural contexts are taken into account to enable understanding and change.
Relate Counsellors attend continuous professional development events in areas such as Mental Health, Sexual Abuse and Domestic Violence/Abuse.
