Wouldn’t it be nice if you could talk to someone about things that are really upsetting you and they would just listen, take you seriously and try to help? That’s what our young people’s counselling service does. Our counsellors can support you with problems like family breakdown; moving in with a second family; bullying at school; friendship groups, pregnancy, new relationships, conflict and a whole range of other issues.
We won’t argue with you or put pressure on you. We won’t tell you what to do, or talk to your parents about what you’ve been saying. What you tell us is confidential, unless the counsellor is worried for your safety.
How does it work?
You can expect to be helped by a supportive and non judgemental counsellor (please click on “where to find us” to check our locations for this service). You can ask to see a counsellor yourself or you can be referred by your doctor, teacher, social worker or someone else you trust. The first session is to find out if Relate is the right service for you. If it is, then you will be offered regular sessions, which usually take place on a weekly basis.
Relate Young People’s Counselling is available to anyone between the ages of 10 and 21.
What does it cost?
There is no charge for this service, although donations are welcome and we ask for a contribution from anyone over the age of 18 and in full-time employment.
