What we can offer

Moving into the teenage years is a difficult time for children.  For most young people, this is a time of experimentation and the disregard of restrictions imposed on them by their parents and teachers.

A change in a student's behaviour can be a first indication that things are not going well in their lives and a teacher is often the first to notice this.

We are qualified counsellors with many years' experience of working with young people.  We can offer a number of tools to help teachers understand some of the difficulties faced by students at this time in their lives.

We offer workshops on the following topics that seem prevalent amoung young people:

• Bullying
• Self-harm
• Eating disorders
• Engaging in dangerous activities
• Drug taking
• Alcohol abuse
• Anger
• Violence
• Isolating themselves
• Underage sex
• Depression
• Low self-esteem
• Divorce
• Bereavement

All of our workshops will provide guidance on listening skills to help understand the young person's behaviour.
