Introducing Relate NI’s Relationship MOT: Your Guide to Relationship Maintenance
Every year you take your car for an MOT, so why not take your relationship for one too? Welcome to Relate NI’s Relationship MOT!
What is a Relationship MOT?
A Relationship MOT is a 50-minute session designed as an accessible way for couples to check in with each other and carry out essential relationship maintenance. Healthy relationships are vital to our wellbeing, and routine maintenance for your relationship will help keep you both on track and maybe even add some sparkle.
How Does Relationship MOT work for Relationship Maintenance?
While this is not a traditional counselling service, you will be guided through the session by a trained relationship therapist (either in person or online). After completing a short questionnaire, which asks you to rate some aspects of your couple relationship, your therapist will help you evaluate your relationship’s current state.
Whether you want to:
Tell your partner how much you love them
Strive for more meaningful time together
Share your favorite parts of your relationship
Address imbalances in household chores
Improve your sex life
….the Relationship MOT covers it all!
Your counsellor will help you identify the strengths in your relationship, as well as the areas for improvement, before you leave with some activities and resources you can do together to help you address any issues and move forward together.
For ongoing support in sustaining healthy relationships, our additional resources can be invaluable!

What have others said about their Relationship MOT experience?
“I found the Relationship MOT an excellent method of focusing on how we work as a couple and, just as importantly, where we need to work. It was professional, insightful, and well worth the time. It has reminded us of how much we have to be proud of in our relationship and why it is so important to occasionally review it with experts.”
– Tiernan, Belfast
“I would definitely recommend using the Relationship MOT service as a bit of a check-in with your partner. I thought how the counsellor was able to steer the conversation was very insightful and nuanced. The MOT reminded us about why we are great together but also the importance of communication and respect.”
– Laura, Belfast
