We don't want you to feel alone
Are you a young person living in the district of Winchester?
Do you ever feel stressed, anxious, or down? You’re not alone.
Mental health is just as important as physical health, and it’s OK to ask for help. That’s where Winchester Youth Counselling comes in. We offer ways to help you deal with your feelings and feel better.
That’s where we come in.
A trained counsellor can assist you in understanding your feelings and provide coping mechanisms. It takes a little work and might be a bit embarrassing at first, but we’re here to help you every step of the way.
Don’t wait until things get too much. If you’re struggling, reach out to us today.
We are here to help you
Are you a young person struggling right now?
Parents, do you need our help?
Do you work with young people?
As part of our charity mission here at WYC, we aim to continue to build on our position as a youth-led organisation, advocating for positive outcomes in mental health for young people.
In line with our charity values, we continue to increase our community networks and partnerships, spotlighting our youth board.
