Young Person Counselling Service - Schools service

We provide a quality service of qualified counsellors to work 1:1 in therapy with young people offering person centred and solution focused therapy in secondary schools across the Borough. Young people are able to access 12 sessions of therapy on a weekly basis to explore a range of issues.

Referrals are sent to the Counselling Manager from the Pastoral team once a young person has been identified and sessions start within 4-6 weeks (dependant on waiting list)
This service is available for primary and secondary schools to commission at competitive rates.

We also provide counselling for a small number of young people 13 + who we are currently enrolled in an RCT group or programme.

Talking treatments can help you to overcome emotional difficulties and free yourself from self-destructive ways of feeling thinking and behaving. They work by providing an opportunity for you to talk in a way that assists you to understand yourself better. Having gained this understanding you can work out ways of living your life in a more positive and constructive way. This way of changing your life is very different from using drugs such as tranquillisers and antidepressants which doctors often prescribe for people who are emotionally distressed. These drugs change your mood by affecting the balance of chemicals in your body but do not help you to deal with underlying problems. Counselling is a form of psychological or talking therapy that offers people a chance to change how they feel and to live better.
