Who is This For?
So much of the work we do is within schools and community so our counsellors are very aware of your unique needs as a young person. Counselling can be highly beneficial if:
- your family are experiencing change or difficulties, such as conflict, separation, or disconnection
- you are feeling like your family don't understand or don't have time to listen
- you feel a lot of anger or are experiencing big emotions
- you are feeling sad or alone
- you wish things might be able to be different for you, your family or your relationships
Benefits of Counselling
With the support of our friendly counsellors counselling can help you to:
- better manage stress and anxiety by learning how to identify and deal with the big emotions
- feel good about who you are
- make sense of what's happening around you, to know what's normal and what's not, to help you find your place
- help you build fun, happy and loving relationships with your family and friends
