Relationship Forum

Welcome to the Relationship Forum on the Couple Connection.

The Relationship Forum is provided for visitors who are seeking advice and support from the community in relation to relationship issues. The aim of the forum is to help you to understand and explore your situation by talking to others who may be going through or who may have experienced similar circumstances. The Relationship Forum is moderated by a team of counsellors with lots of experience of helping couples as they work things out in their relationship. They facilitate the forum, providing guidance and additional help wherever needed.

For visitors who may wish to discuss their issue in more depth in a more private setting you could visit the ‘Listening Room’. The ‘Listening Room’ gives you the opportunity to offload in a private space. Here you can talk to an online helper, who will help you explore and understand what is going on for you. This is not a counselling service but we do know that it often helps to talk it through and may help you take the next step.
