General:
Relate is a national charity that exists to promote
healthy relationships. In the UK, Relate is the largest
provider of couple counselling and sex therapy and also
has highly respected family counselling and young people
services.
Relate offers a whole range of resources and services
to help support people who want to make their relationships
better.
In BFG, Relate services include:
- Relationship Counselling (individuals, couples,
same-sex couples)
- Relationship
Advice
- Sex Therapy
- Relate Family Counselling
- Mediation
- Services for Young People
Confidentiality:
Counselling is a private and confidential form
of help. Relate holds information about its clients and
their counselling in confidence.
We will not give your name or any information
about you to anyone outside the organisation unless there
is an exceptional circumstance, for example, if someone,
especially a child, is at risk of serious harm. In such
a situation we would try to involve you in making the
decision about any action to be taken.
Relate is an independent organisation. We do not
share information with the chain of command, health professionals
or any other welfare agencies.
Costs:
In the UK, you normally pay a
fee to cover the cost of the
sessions, however, in BFG, all
your costs are covered by the
MoD so the service is entirely
free.
Eligibility:
Relate BFG can support individuals, couples (including
same-sex couples), and young people. Relate services
are offered free of charge to all those attached
to the British military within BFG. Serving personnel,
(including foreign and commonwealth), dependents,
UKBCs and the employees of other support agencies
(eg SSAFA, SCE, NAAFI etc) are eligible for support.
Who can refer?
Relate BFG works closely with other welfare organisations to ensure that they
are aware of the full range of services we offer. Whilst we are happy for other
agencies to pass our contact details on, clients must make contact with us direct.
Our counsellors
All our counsellors have received special training in couple counselling. It
takes two-three years to become a fully qualified Relate Counsellor. They
undergo further training to specialise in areas such as family counselling
and sex therapy.
‘Counsellors-in-training’ have gone through a rigorous selection
and training process and will be receiving close professional support.
All counsellors continue with ongoing training and consultation with other
professionals to ensure that they give you the highest standard of counselling.
Locations:
Relate BFG has counsellors based throughout Germany and has private counselling
rooms at most garrisons. It may also be possible to receive telephone counselling.
