What is 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.
