Quote: "I don't always have to talk about how I feel, I can draw my feelings or write about them.."
When something goes wrong in a child or young person's life, whether or not they are aware of the cause, we believe that being able to talk to a counsellor in a safe and confidential environment enables them to gain some clarity and begin to work things through.
TO INFORM children and young people in order to facilitate a better understanding and expression of their own feelings.
TO ENABLE them to identify appropriate and helpful alternatives for expressing their emotions.
TO FACILITATE them to gain insight and awareness of empathy to establish good family relationships.
