WHAT IS COUNSELLING?
Counselling is time to talk with someone who will let you talk and help you find your own solutions. A counsellor won't judge you, and they won't tell you what to do.
Counselling is for anyone who feels they need it. It could be because of something specific you are worried about. It could be because of the way you are feeling about a lot of things, or life in general. It could be to help you make decisions about something in your life.
Many places offer a free counselling service, though they will usually have a waiting list. You'll find details of these places here. (There are also mant private counsellors but this is something you'll have to pay for).
If you are thinking about seeing a counsellor, ask them what qualifications and experience they have. Ideally they should have, or be studying towards a Diploma (not just a certificate) in counselling, and be a member of a recognised professional body such as BACP or UKCP. They should also be used to working with young people.
