How we help kids & teens

 

There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children.

 One of these is roots, the other, wings.

Many young people are struggling or suffering with different kinds of issues. We can help! As well as working with adults, we also specialise in helping children and young people deal with:

Stress and Anxiety
Depression and Sadness
Study and Organisational Skills
Harrassment and Bullying
Disordered Eating
Rage and Difficult Behaviour
Unhappiness or Anger at home
Trauma and Fear
Learning assessments
Many other issues


Often young people who have “dropped out” of other counselling services stay with us and enjoy sessions. They say things like:
“You gave me hope”…15 year old
“I’ve learnt I can change my choices”..18 year old

We cater to young people by:

- Ensuring our office environment is not “clinical” but comfortable and youth friendly
- Ensuring all our staff are extensively trained in youth issues.
- Offering complimentary email contact where appropriate

 

Our approach in working with young people is to work as closely as possibly with their communities.  In other words, whilst we always respect confidentiality, we try to work with parents, teachers, GPs and other people involved in a young person's life.
