Relate is a National Organisation made up of some 80 Relate Centres across the United Kingdom. Relate used to be called the Marriage Guidance Council and was formed in 1937. It was in the late 1980s that it decided to change its name from ‘Marriage Guidance Council’ to Relate to reflect the changing patterns of couple relationships.

Relate Dacorum is based in Hemel Hempstead (although we are in the process of opening an outpost in Tring). The Gables is our Centre where counselling takes place. We are an independent registered Charity that offers its services to all residents in the Dacorum Borough Council area, which includes the towns of Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Tring, Kings Langley and all surrounding villages.

All our Counsellors come from a wide range of background and experience and, in addition to the national training programme, have often undergone training in a number of other specialist areas.
