Helping young people face mental health challenges together

“Usually I’d just bottle my feelings up. Talking to someone made me feel more grounded.”

“I don't have automatic negative thoughts anymore. I look for the positive in any distressing situation I have and try to use stress relieving techniques e.g. meditation instead of self harming as a way to express my anger.”

“I was able to have a safe, consistent and comfortable space to express my feelings and feel like I was listened to and taken seriously. It helped me push through depressive suicidal feelings and focus on more positive growth.”

“It was a place of support and warmth. I am glad I was able to get a place there, it has really helped keep me stable. Thank you :). ”

“It felt like problems that other people wouldn't have thought were so important were taken more seriously.”

“Learning how to cope with things myself and allow myself to feel my feelings.  I am able to be more independent. I'm able to use the tools used in counselling and the help from my counsellor to resolve my own problems”

“Safe space to talk. Safe environment. You're not being judged, you're being supported. ”

“My therapist really helped me to open up about my past and traumatic experiences and accept them in a way that I am never ashamed of what I have been through. ”

“I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't gone to them for help. ”
