Relate
Relate is a UK relationship-support organisation offering counselling for individuals, couples and families.
Its services can help with family conflict, communication difficulties, grief, stress and relationship breakdown. Individual counselling is also available, so an estranged parent does not need the adult child to take part in order to seek support.
How they can help:
Relate offers individual counselling, family counselling and other relationship-support services. Sessions may be online or, depending on availability, face to face.
Why we’ve included it:
Estrangement can involve grief, unresolved conflict and difficult questions about whether and how to communicate with an adult child. Relate is not an estrangement-specific service, but it is an established source of professional relationship counselling and may be useful for parents who want help making sense of what has happened or deciding how to move forward.

Inclusion in our directory means we believe this organisation may be useful to members. It does not mean Estranged Parents is responsible for the service provided by any external organisation.
