Marriage and relationship Counselling
“ACCORD offers a safe, professional and confidential process facilitating couples and individuals to explore, reflect upon and resolve difficulties in their marriage & relationship. Marriage and families are today experiencing new and more complex challenges than ever before. Research has shown that 92% of people who benefited from our services said they would return to counselling if they had further relationship problems. Our service is available to all regardless of marital status.
ACCORD Counsellors are trained to the highest professional standards. Our training is accredited by the National Association of Pastoral Counsellor and Psychotherapists.
We are a non-profit organisation and, while we ask our clients to make a donation if circumstances allow them, nobody is refused counselling due to a lack of money.
If you find that you are having difficulty talking to each other then talk to ACCORD. We are there to help you.
