What is Counselling?
Counselling is a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings one-to-one with a professional, qualified counsellor. We provide 8-12 free sessions for all young people aged 11-25, but we require parental consent from those aged 13 and under.
We offer this service through face-to-face and virtual sessions, in Colchester or Clacton, during the week.
