Our counselling

Counselling involves talking to a trained person who will listen to what you are saying, try to understand what things are like for you, and help you find ways to deal with your situation.

  • It is private and confidential.
  • Counsellors won't tell you what to do.
  • They listen and try to understand.
  • They try to help you see your problems in a different way.
  • They try to help you find a way to help yourself.

At Kooth we have counsellors who have been specially trained to work online with young people.

The service is committed to complying with the current BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sometimes people don't need counselling but do need advice, support or information - our counsellors will do that too. We can also refer you on to other agencies in your area who can give you specialist support and advice.
