Feelings and everyday pressures
You may want to ask about support with worries, low mood or feeling overwhelmed. Discuss the practitioner’s experience with the particular difficulty.
Counselling for children & young people
Finding support for yourself or a young person can start with a simple conversation. Explore practitioners who work with younger clients and ask what would fit the young person’s age, needs and circumstances.
Age ranges and services vary. A listing here does not mean a practitioner works with every age group. Please confirm the exact age range, relevant training and whether online sessions are suitable before booking.
Online support subject to assessment · from £40 · Confirm age range, service and availability.
Space to explore what feels difficult
Relationships and belonging
Friendships, family relationships and school experiences can bring difficult feelings. Ask how sessions are adapted to the young person’s communication and developmental needs.
Changes and experiences
A move, loss or change in family circumstances may be a reason to seek support. An initial discussion helps explore what kind of help could be appropriate.
Putting the young person at the centre
Ask how the practitioner will listen to the young person’s wishes and explain sessions in a way they can understand. An initial assessment should consider their needs and whether the service is appropriate.
Discuss consent arrangements before starting. These depend on the circumstances, including the young person’s ability to understand the proposed work and any relevant parental responsibility.
Privacy and practical arrangements
Agree what stays private, what may be shared with parents or carers and when safeguarding concerns could require sharing information. Confidentiality has limits; these should be explained from the outset.
For online sessions, ask about a suitable private space, adult availability where needed and what happens if the connection fails. Confirm the practitioner’s safeguarding arrangements and who to contact between sessions.
Explore practitioner profiles
These listings come from our Children & Young People category. Check each practitioner’s specific age range, relevant qualifications, experience and service before booking. Category membership alone does not establish suitability for a particular child.

Questions about support for young people
What ages do practitioners work with?
Age ranges vary by practitioner and service. Please ask about the young person’s exact age before booking; inclusion on this page does not mean someone works with all children or teenagers.
Can I enquire for myself as a young person?
Yes, you can ask about support and what the next step would involve. Use your own contact details only where it is safe for us to reply. An enquiry is not an agreement to begin therapy.
Can a parent or carer make an enquiry?
Yes. Use your own name and contact details in the form below. You do not need to submit the child’s name, school or personal history here. The practitioner can discuss what information and permissions are needed at the next stage.
Are sessions suitable online?
This depends on age, needs, privacy and the practitioner’s approach. Discuss suitability and practical arrangements first. If online counselling is unsuitable, ask about other options.
How much do sessions cost?
Currently listed individual fees are £40–£48. Profile fees may cover different services or session lengths. Confirm the fee for the young person’s specific service and any parent or carer appointments before booking.
Where else can we look for support?
A GP, teacher or school nurse can help you explore local children and young people’s mental health services. NHS guidance below explains referral routes; some services accept self-referrals.
Exploring the next step
You do not need to choose a therapy approach before asking for help. We can discuss which practitioner profiles may be relevant; the practitioner then assesses suitability.
Further information
Read the NHS guide to getting mental health support for children and young people.
The BACP Ethical Framework explains professional responsibilities, including consent, confidentiality and working with younger clients.
This enquiry form is not monitored as an urgent support service. For urgent mental health help, use the NHS guidance on getting urgent help.
Would it feel easier to start with a message?
Use your own name and a safe way for us to contact you. Parents and carers should use their own details. Please do not enter a child’s personal history here. We can discuss age range, suitability and the next step when we reply. This form gives permission to contact you about the enquiry; it is not consent to therapy.
You don’t need to explain everything here, or have a diagnosis. The short questions help us respond in a way that suits you.
