What is Counselling?

Counselling is a talking therapy:

It involves a trained counsellor listening to and helping you find ways to deal with challenging emotional issues.
It is an opportunity to explore thoughts and feelings and to better understand how they impact mood, behaviours, and relationships.
It offers a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to talk through whatever troubles or worries you have, with a qualified and experienced youth counsellor.
Counselling sessions take place weekly at the same time and place and with the same counsellor.

Counselling can help by:

Giving you a better understanding of issues with relationships, sexuality, stress, anxiety, and much more.
Equipping you with strategies and tools to better tackle new experiences or challenges.
Working towards an understanding of why you feel the way you feel.
Supporting you in learning how to manage challenging feelings and situations in an emotionally healthy way.

Please note that we are not a crisis service.
