Relationships

All relationships have their ups and downs – it’s part of daily life.  Usually they give us comfort and happiness, but sometimes, when things go wrong, relationships can cause us pain.

When things go wrong, friends and family are often good people to talk to. They can help us make sense of things and get our life back on track. But sometimes you might prefer to speak to someone who’s not involved and who’s specially trained to help you.   

Connexions Personal Advisers can give you information, advice and practical help with all sort of things that might be affecting you in your life - or we can put you in touch with the right specialist person who is able to help you. You can find us at school, college or your nearest Connexions Centre. Just drop in and see us…
