Young Persons' Service (age 16-25)....
Counselling for people aged 16 to 25, who are struggling with issues affecting their mental health.
Many things can affect your mental wellbeing, for example difficulties with relationships, family, studies, the death of someone close to you, not having a job or sense of purpose to your life.
Trying to cope with feelings such as depression and anxiety can be overwhelming, leading to self-harm, other kinds of risky behaviour and perhaps having thoughts of ending your life.
Counselling offers you a safe place to talk. The counsellor helps you to explore and understand your feelings, without judging you. They listen and support you to make your own decisions, so you can begin to make changes and move towards feeling and coping better.
This service offers an initial assessment appointment followed by 8 counselling sessions, which will be at the same time/day each week, lasting up to an hour.
