RELATEEN is available to young people aged 12-18 years who are suffering the effects of problems in their parents' or step-parents relationship. These problems may be current, recent or indeed have happened some time ago, very often it is some years before many of these arise.
RELATEEN counselling provides the time and space for young people to come and explore and understand what they are going through.
They may feel angry, sad, confused, helpless, guilty, ‘caught in the middle’, perhaps in absolute turmoil. They may often feel like screaming and feel they have to bottle it all up inside. They may feel alone and frightened and don’t know where to turn.
They may be finding it hard to cope with all the changes. These might include:
· mum and dad are splitting up
· mum or dad have new partners
· new partners have children
· one parent is alone

Cost
Although this service is free, it costs around £25 to provide each session. We have been given a limited amount of funding, but we do invite adults to support us in order that we might continue to offer help to the young people who would benefit from RELATEEN counselling.
We ask therefore, that you make a contribution towards the costs if possible.
How to contact us
For more information on this service or an appointment, phone us on Hull 581702 and ask for the RELATEEN service. Appointments are usually available weekdays from 5pm and on Saturday mornings too. Other times may be available. Please ask the receptionist when you telephone.
Each meeting with the counsellor will normally last for half-an-hour to an hour. It is held in a quiet, private room, specially designed for young people. Everything which is said is treated in strictest confidence, unless someone's personal safety is at risk.
An adult may come with the young person, but will not be allowed to got into the room with them unless the young person requests it.
What RELATEEN provides
Our counsellors are friendly, helpful and experienced in a whole range of different situations people face with their personal and family relationships. We recognise these young people need support and will help them:
· to talk to someone in confidence
· to feel heard
· to express their feelings
· to make sense of what is happening
· to accept that things may never be the same again
How we can help
What can be really helpful at this time is someone to talk to, someone who will listen, someone who is there for them, but is not involved in the way that friends or family are. They can talk in a safe place, away from pressures at home or school.
