Counselling
Counselling is a talking therapy.
- It involves a trained counsellor listening to and helping you / your child find ways to deal with emotional issues.
- It is an opportunity to explore thoughts and feelings and to better understand how they impact mood, behaviours, and relationships.
- It offers a safe, confidential space to talk through whatever troubles or worries you / your child has with a qualified and experienced youth counsellor.
At WYC, we offer free, one-to-one counselling with a professional BACP registered counsellor or trainee counsellor for young people aged 11-25 who live in the Winchester District.
Counselling can help by:
- Giving you a better understanding of issues such as relationships, sexuality, stress, anxiety, and much more.
- Equipping you with strategies and tools to better tackle new experiences or challenges.
- Understand why you feel the way you feel.
- Learn how to manage challenging feelings and situations in an emotionally healthy way.
