B2A Counselling & Therapy Service
Counselling is a ‘talking therapy’ where a trained therapist helps people to find ways to deal with challenging emotional issues. Counselling can help children and young people deal with the challenges and issues that are having a negative impact on their mental wellbeing.
If they are struggling with a mental health disorder such as negative or destructive thoughts, anxiety or depression, or have problems with anger or resentment, relationships and bullying, bereavement or low self-harm, or are being challenged by difficult emotions leading to low self-esteem or low levels of confidence, our trained counsellors will help them to explore the issues and develop some strategies for coping.
Increasing numbers of children and young people are struggling with how they feel and need to talk to someone, but many can find it difficult to talk to people they know, and some may have limited options available to them. Our counsellors can help them to talk things through and will support them without making them feel judged or criticised.
Counselling can be personalised and individual to a child and their needs, or delivered through small groups to explore some common themes in a non-threatening environment. These might include school transition, social anxieties, identity and self-image, coping with change or loss, stress and anxiety management, and low levels of self-confidence and resilience.
Counselling can also provide early identification of child protection and familial issues, including domestic abuse.
