At the National Institute of Relationship Enhancement, our counseling services have a history of 40 years of research demonstrating effectiveness. Our counseling is based on the work of Drs. Bernard and Louise Guerney. Their research and writing since the 1960s developed and refined the Relationship Enhancement Methods (RE) which are used at NIRE.
