YOUTH COUNSELLING

If you want to get in touch for a brief introduction, I offer an initial free fifteen minute session. 

I currently work with Lifelink to provide one-to-one sessions with children and young people between the ages of 10 and 18. 
 
Sessions for children and adolescents begin with an assessment session to determine if a young person is suitable for counselling. Sessions last between 30 and 50 minutes.
Youth sessions can take place over Google Meet. 

​

One-to-One sessions cost £35 per session.

(£130 for 4 session block booking)
(Face-to-Face sessions available on request (if space is available) - in East Renfrewshire area, rate is £50)

​

Before the first session I will email over a contract for the parent/guardian to read and possibly sign which will be discussed in the first session. At the start of each session, a CORE-YP assessment tool will be completed to assess the young person before session as well as any risk to be made aware of.

During the first session I will work with the young person to set goals for your therapy journey. Have a think before the session about what you would like to focus on during your time here. The number of sessions can vary depending on what is being brought to session but the sessions could last between four to ten sessions.

​

If you wish to continue our sessions, the time slot will be held for you moving forward – these may change depending on mutual agreement and availability.

​

If further support is needed, this will be discussed with the young person first and then passed along to the parents/guardians. If a further referral is needed to be conducted (e.g. CAMHS referrals) additional costs may be needed - this will be discussed further if needed.
