Marriage Care’s next Certificate in Relationship Counselling (CRC) training course will begin in March 2027 with a deadline of Tuesday 30 June for applications.

Marriage Care believe that supporting couple relationships is a matter of social justice. Their relationship counsellors enable those in need to access professional counselling – regardless of their ability to pay – by providing two counselling sessions per week on a voluntary basis.

Marriage Care are looking for those who are empathetic, understanding and have an enthusiasm for supporting adult relationships

Please note that there are costs associated with training on the CRC, including a non‑refundable registration fee of around £175. These costs, which are outlined on the website below, are subject to minor changes and are far lower than with alternative training providers. In line with Marriage Care’s ethos as a charity, no one is excluded on the basis of their ability to pay.
