Relationship counsellor training
We have over 50 years of experience in delivering training in couple and relationship counselling and sexual therapy, both independently and in association with Relate in England. Counsellors trained with us can access placements and supervision through Member Services across the country, which makes Relationships Scotland a great place to train.

Are you already a qualified counsellor working with individuals? Would you like to work with couples? Then our Certificate in Couple Counselling might be for you. The course is specifically designed to develop individual counsellors skills and knowledge to enable them to work safely and professionally with couples.
