Children and Young people

In today’s world, more children and young people are facing significant emotional and mental well-being challenges. According to a 2017 survey, 50% of GCSE students reported that anxiety and stress had affected their schoolwork. If these issues aren’t addressed, they often become more entrenched and harder to overcome, making adult life more challenging to navigate.

Working with children and young people is different from working with adults and requires specialist training and skills. If you are a young person, or if you're concerned about a young person, finding the right support can be overwhelming. Many people don’t know where to turn or, out of desperation, may seek help from individuals who don’t have the necessary expertise. This can lead to delays in getting the right support, and the anxiety, fear, and pain can build up in the meantime.

It’s important to ensure that the counsellor you approach has the right training and experience for working with children and young people. Always ask about their qualifications and experience when seeking help.
