Young Person’s Counselling
Our counselling for children and young people provides a safe space where highly specialist counsellors use a range of creative therapeutic methods to help young people connect to, and express, their emotions. Helping young people develop coping strategies can mean they are able to thrive rather than just survive.
Our counselling for children and young people enables people aged 11-18 to talk to one of our counsellors about how they are feeling. It might be that they are experiencing problems at home or at school, or that they are finding some things in life difficult and need support to work through their thoughts and emotions.
Our counsellors help young people to make sense of what they are feeling, and develop ways of coping with difficulties so that they can enjoy life more fully. Depending on the age and need of the young person, our counsellors offer creative ways to help them express their feelings, such as through art or play.
Sessions are currently offered both online or in person at our Trowbridge office. The session takes place once a week at the same time, and continues for between 12 and up to 24 weeks depending on the individual need. The sessions are kept confidential between the young person and the counsellor unless we have concerns about their safety.
We ask for a £40 per session contribution towards the cost of counselling. Our charity funds the remainder of the cost of this service from its charitable activities.
If you are on low income or worried about the cost, please choose the ‘low income’ option on the self referral form.
If you are under 18 years of age, or still in full time education, you may be eligible for our funded counselling. When submitting the Young Person’s Counselling Referral Form, please indicate that you wish to be considered. (In the Details of Referral box).
