THE latest donation by Okehampton United Charity will allow a charity to continue their work helping people in the town.

Relate Exeter and District offer counselling for those with relationship problems, be they marital, familial or otherwise. The United Charity grant of £4,400 will help the organisation continue their work supporting individuals, families and couples in the town. Relate currently provides counselling services in the Ockment Centre.

A spokesperson for the charity said they were 'absolutely delighted by the generous support shown by the Okehampton United Charity'.

Established for over half a century, Relate Exeter and District dedicates itself to helping local people from all walks of life have happy relationships. They support individuals, couples and families through all stages of their relationships offering relationship counselling, couple counselling, family counselling, sex therapy as well as workshops in a confidential and safe environment.

Their counsellors are non-judgemental and listen and encourage you to talk openly about your concerns, helping you reach your own decisions about the best way forward.

All counsellors are skilled in Relate's approach to relationship counselling.

In addition, they have all received extra training in matters relating to domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse and mental illness, and some have further specialised in psychosexual and/or family counselling.

All counsellors are strictly supervised, undertake ongoing continuous professional development, and abide by a strict ethical code and confidentiality procedures.
