Relationship Counselor Jobs

Relate is New Zealand’s largest relationship and couples therapy specialist agency. We are currently expanding outside of Oceania. Our Mission is to help couples create amazing, connected and fulfilling relationships through connecting specialist relationship therapists and individuals, families and couples requiring their support. Central to our mission is the belief that clients deserve a therapist who is trained in the nuances of working with relationships and passionate about being the best they can be.
