   Relate Gloucestershire & Swindon - We're here to help you
  Common Problems      
 
People come to Relate for help with all sorts of relationship problems. Counselling offers no magic solutions. It can only work if you are willing to be honest about yourself and your relationship and if you commit to the counselling process. Given this, it is very likely that we can significantly help you. Our counsellors are trained and have the experience to work with the following range of statements and questions that they regularly hear:  
   
  bullet   we don’t talk any more
  bullet   it’s all over
  bullet   I feel numb - my feelings have gone
  bullet   we cannot come to terms with the violence in our relationship
