Why choose
Relationship Works?

Finding the right support for your relationship is a big decision. Here’s what makes us different.

Our collaborative team

You're supported by a whole team of counsellors, not just a solo practitioner.

We have over 20 trained, qualified and supervised counsellors who can meet your specific needs and schedule.

It's all about human connection, not an algorithm. If it’s not the right fit, we can match you with another expert from the team.

Our counsellors share expertise and support each other, so you benefit from collective wisdom, not just one approach.

Specialists you can trust

All our counsellors are trained specialists in relationship counselling, with many holding additional qualifications in sex therapy or family counselling.

Every counsellor is supervised and continuously trained to the highest standards, so you can rely on expert care that's rigorously maintained.

Backed by 80 years of experience supporting relationships in Bristol and Bath - combining proven approaches with fresh insights for contemporary relationships.

Relationships first, over profit

As a charity, we exist to help relationships work better. Every decision is guided by what's best for you.

Our fees are on a sliding scale based on household income, so we can offer subsidised sessions to those who need them.

Because everyone deserves access to quality support.

All relationships are welcome

We're here for relationships in all their forms - however you define them. Whatever your background, sexuality, or relationship structure, you belong here.

Our counsellors are trained to understand diverse experiences and identities. No judgement, no assumptions - just a space where you can be yourself.

Face-to-face or online - it’s your choice

We offer the flexibility of online sessions when that’s what you need, but we also have premises in Bristol (Bishopston) and central Bath where you can meet your counsellor in person.

Available Monday–Saturday, 8.30am–9pm (Fridays and Saturdays until 2pm)

Whether you’re online or face to face, you’ll get the same human connection and quality of care and support.
