Counselling charity Relate set to be rescued from insolvency Deal under which Family Action takes over Relate’s counselling services will save up to 185 jobs, say administrators.
Relate offers a range of services, including couples and relationships counselling, family counselling, mediation, children therapy and sex therapy.
On Friday, the administrators, FRP Advisory, announced that the families charity Family Action has agreed to buy Relate’s counselling and central services.
A third of Relate’s workforce, representing 80 staff including 40 therapists, were made redundant with immediate effect when it entered administration in November.
About a third of its counselling was funded by public sector contracts, with the remainder from means-tested fees, typically between £83 and £130 a session for face-to-face adult relationship counselling.
