Irish Association of Relationship Mentors (IARM), a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG), was established in 2012, as the professional membership body for Relationship Mentors in Ireland.

It provides validation, regulation, and an ethical framework for Mentors working in Ireland. Relationship Mentoring is a unique psychotherapeutic and counselling approach.

Relationship mentoring is grounded in the understanding that it is the quality of the individual’s own relationship with themselves that determines the quality of the relationship with another. It is not what is happening between individuals that is the critical issue, rather it is what is happening within the individual. The truth that each one of us is a unique and separate presence in the world is held as sacred in the co-creational relationship mentoring approach.

Relationship Mentors provide one to one therapeutic support, group support, and psychoeducational workshops and training
