About

At YPCS we offer a safe and confidential environment for young people who are ready to take the opportunity to look at their difficulties and life experiences. We provide individual counselling to young people aged 11-18 years.

We do not give advice or a prescription for living, we aim to help the young person in discovering their own solutions and ways of coping so they gain the confidence in their own ability and develop the skills that will aid and support them through this difficult period and throughout their life. Within counselling there is an opportunity to talk with somebody who will not judge you, will be respectful of your view and will value what you say.

Counselling can help with………

· Anxiety and depression

· Parent’s separation and divorce

· Relationship difficulties

· Coping with bullying

· The loss of somebody close to you

· Lack of confidence and low self-esteem
