💙 A huge thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund! 💙

We’re delighted to share that we’ve been awarded £20,000 to provide free counselling for people who have exited a harmful relationship.

This support means so much — it will give people the space to heal, rebuild their confidence, and make safer relationship choices in the future.

We’re so grateful to the National Lottery and everyone who plays — you’re helping us change lives. 🙏✨

If you live in Herefordshire, Worcestershire or Gloucestershire and would like to speak to us about support, call now on 01905 28051 or email reception@trtc.org.uk

☀️➡️🍂 Post-Summer Relationship Blues?

Back to work, school runs, and endless to-do lists… it’s no wonder couples feel the shift after summer.

If you’re noticing more tension (and less connection), you’re not alone. Try:

💬 Talking openly about what you each need
🌱 Building little rituals of connection
💞 Making time for us, not just everything else

At The Relationship Therapy Centre, part of the TLC Group, our qualified and experienced counsellors help couples move from post-holiday slump to deeper connection. 💙

🌴 Family Holidays Without the Stress? Yes, Please! 🌴
At The Relationship Therapy Centre, we know family holidays can be a beautiful opportunity to connect — but they can also bring tension, pressure, and unrealistic expectations.

Here’s your gentle reminder:

✨ You don’t need the “perfect” holiday.
✨ It’s okay to need quiet time, even on a family trip.
✨ Kids will still have meltdowns (that’s normal!)
✨ You can set boundaries with extended family.
✨ Rest is just as important as fun.

Take deep breaths. Let go of the pressure to make memories every moment. Often, the best memories are the simple, unplanned ones.

💛 Be kind to yourself.
💛 Communicate clearly.
💛 Laugh when things go sideways.

If your family dynamics are feeling strained — whether before, during, or after the holiday — we’re here to help.
👉 We offer family therapy to support healthier communication, connection, and understanding.

You don’t have to navigate it alone.

🌧️ Going Through a Breakup? You Don’t Have to Do It Alone. 💔

A relationship breakdown can shake the very foundation of your life — whether it ended suddenly or after a long struggle. You might be feeling overwhelmed, lost, angry, and numb. These feelings are normal, but you don’t have to face them alone.

At The Relationship Therapy Centre, we offer compassionate, professional counselling to help you:

✨ Process grief and emotional pain
✨ Rebuild your confidence and self-worth
✨ Gain clarity on what went wrong — and how to grow from it
✨ Navigate co-parenting, separation, or divorce with support
✨ Rediscover who you are outside the relationship

This chapter may feel like an ending, but with the right support, it can also be a powerful new beginning.

🗓️ In-person and online appointments available — no waiting list

You deserve support. You deserve healing. 💬

💬 Arguing? Here’s How to De-Escalate Conflict in Your Relationship

Every couple argues—it’s completely normal. But when tempers flare, the way you respond can either build a bridge or burn one.

At The Relationship Therapy Centre, we guide couples to manage conflict with care. Try these de-escalation tools next time a row starts to rise:

🧘‍♀️ Pause & Breathe – A short pause can prevent a long argument.
🗣️ Lower Your Voice – Calm tones calm the room.
👂 Listen to Understand – Not to win, but to really hear each other.
💛 Use “I” Statements – Say “I feel…” instead of “You always…”
🚪 Take Space if Needed – It’s okay to pause a hard conversation, as long as you come back to repair.

Conflict doesn’t have to damage your connection. With support and the right skills, it can actually deepen it.

🤝 Ready to change the way you communicate?
