Young people

For young people

Our entire service is founded on you and your emotional wellbeing. You may feel anxious, sad, or lack motivation. You may have a lot of stress around your exams, or feel you are struggling to meet expectations set upon you. We recommend you check out our page that talks more about what sort of things we can help with.

Is the Service right for you?

Are you interested in learning more about your emotions and wellbeing? Would you like to try out some strategies to help you manage your mood? 

If so, then you might find our support helpful.  

Key facts about our service if you are thinking of making a referral for yourself:

Our core interventions are 6-8 sessions of guided self-help support focusing on working towards your goals. We specialise in helping you with managing low mood or anxiety, whether it’s self-esteem, personal relationships, stress or worries – we help you talk through it and give you skills to manage your wellbeing.

Meaning you decide what happens to the information that you wish to share with us. We will not pass it on to anyone who was not present at the time without your consent to do so.  

The only exception to this is if we think that you, or someone else, may be at risk of harm, but in these cases, we will make it clear to you what we would like to share, why we feel we need to, how we plan to do it and who with.

If you make a referral we start with an initial meeting before offering further support. This is so we can come to a shared decision together about if it feels like the right fit for you or not. Even if once we’ve started ongoing support, you no longer feel you want it, let us know and we can work out your options together. 

What to Expect

This might be your first time coming to us, or your first time reaching out for help. We want to make this as smooth and clear of a process as possible for you, so we’ve dedicated a page that walks you through what will happen. Usually, we want sessions to happen at a place you are most comfortable with, but in case you need to use rooms at our centre, we’ve also got a guide so you know what to expect.

Science behind our Interventions
