WE ARE OPEN

BY APPOINTMENT

Counselling is often confused with other types of helping relationships. People sometimes believe that they will receive advice and be told what to do by their counsellor, but the overall aim of counselling is to provide a chance for you to work towards living in a happier way and to help you find your strengths.

Have a look at our other pages for more inspiration!

DROP IN

Unfortunately due to the numbers of young people on our waiting list we have had to close to new referrals at the present time. We do have a contact list of other agencies who provide additional support which we are able to email to you if you would like to provide us with your email address.

We aim to re-open our lists as soon as possible and suggest you check back here for updates or call in three to four weeks time.

If you feel you need to speak to someone during the times when we are closed then please call
