Our Counsellors...

The counsellors are experienced in working with young people. We can help you explore your feelings, attitudes and how things affect you. You can usually have up to 8 sessions. The counselling is confidential (no-one else’s business) unless we have concerns about your safety or the safety of someone else.

These are the types of issues other young people have come with:

Relationships with parents/carers, brothers/sisters, friends, etc
Bullying and coping with school
Identity and self-esteem
Coping with life events and changes
Anxiety/depression/anger
Self-harming/substance misuse

Information we need when you contact us:

What phone number is it okay to call you on?
What is the main issue you want to talk about?
Are other services involved, such as CAMHS, etc?

We work in various locations in Shoreham, Worthing and Littlehampton. The team is Joe Osmond, Kerry Nair, Paula Malby, Kate King and Christina La Cara.
