Counselling for Children and Young People

Counselling support

We know that getting help when you are struggling is important, that’s where our counselling can help.

When you are struggling with your feelings, counselling can help you to process what’s going on in a safe environment. In counselling, a trained therapist or counsellor will listen to your problems and help support you understand what is causing these problems by supporting you to look at solutions to help you overcome them.

Support in Hull

Our Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) service is delivered by qualified Children and Young People’s Wellbeing Practitioners (CWPs). We provide compassionate support for young people aged 10-18 who are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of depression or anxiety.

Sessions can take place in person at our Hull office or remotely via video call or telephone with flexibility to hold the remote online sessions at school or home, whichever feels most comfortable for the young person.

Support in the East Riding

Our therapeutic counselling service is provided by qualified counsellors, offering a safe and supportive space for young people aged 10-18 who are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of depression or anxiety.

Sessions are available in person at our Hull office or selected venues within the East Riding area. Remote support via video call or telephone is also available, providing flexibility for school or home-based sessions.

How to access support

To make a referral, please call 01482 303 688.

Referrals for both Hull and East Riding go through Contact Point, an early help and intervention service that acts as a single point of access for emotional and mental health referrals. They will assess the young person’s needs and connect them with the most suitable support.

We’re here to help, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thrive Hull - Support at School

Support at School

We offer one-on-one counselling in partnership with the Thrive Hull project, designed for young people aged 10 to 19 who live in or attend school/college in the Hull area.

Counselling provides a safe and supportive space to explore a range of challenges, including but not limited to low-level anxiety and depression, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Sessions are available in schools, community settings, or remotely via video call.

Parents and carers can refer a young person directly by calling us at 01482 755 601 or emailing [email protected]. For additional local support, visit the website How Are You Feeling?

Professionals are encouraged to complete the Emotional Wellbeing Request for Support form.
