# supplying specialist therapeutic services to couples and individuals experiencing difficulties in their relationships;
# providing training and consultancy on delivering, developing and managing services for couples and families;
# undertaking research that contributes to the understanding of couple and family relationships and how best they might be improved;
# developing therapeutic practice, training and research as interdependent and interlinked activities.
Its working philosophy derives from the knowledge and insights generated by psycho-analytically oriented clinical practice and research. It has grown up in the ‘Tavistock’ tradition, which embodies this philosophy in the United Kingdom, and shares close working links and accommodation with the Tavistock Clinic.
In January 2005 it took over responsibility for supplying training and clinical services formerly provided by London Marriage Guidance. It is registered as a training organisation by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and runs academic programmes accredited by the University of East London. For funding it depends upon strategic grants from the Department for Education and Skills, fees charged for services, project grants and charitable donations.
