Counselling Support

You might want to try counselling if you are having difficulties at school, home or with friends. If you’re having a tough time with things like keeping up with schoolwork, making friends, being bullied or more general underlying feelings of anxiety then counselling might be for you. Counselling gives you a chance to talk to an independent professional person about these things and get help and advice to make you feel better.
