Our one-to-one support is a type of talking therapy where you can speak to a therapeutic practitioner about your feelings, thoughts and behaviours without feeling judged or criticised.
How it works?
Referral would be reviewed by our Single Point Access team to understand from the in the information provide what support you require.
When you are not feeling yourself, its sometimes difficult to open up to your family, friends or teachers. Some people find it easier to open up to someone who is not so close than to a loved one.
Sometimes when you're not feeling like yourself, it can be hard to open up to family, friends or teachers. You might find it easier to talk to someone who's not so close to your everyday life - someone who's there just for you.
Your practitioner will make sure you have a safe and comfortable space to talk and explore how you're feeling. This isn't just about having a quiet room - it's about creating an environment where you can be completely honest without worrying about what anyone else might think.
The therapeutic relationship is built on trust, respect, and genuine care. Your practitioner is trained to understand what you're going through and will work alongside you to help you feel better, always going at whatever pace feels right for you.
Change can and does happen

Real Stories from Our Community
Hear from young people, families, and professionals who have experienced the difference our support makes. These are genuine experiences from people we've helped on their mental health journey.
I felt completely lost and overwhelmed when I first reached out for help. The practitioner really listened to me without any judgment and helped me understand that what I was going through wasn't my fault. For the first time in months, I didn't feel alone. They gave me practical ways to cope with my anxiety that actually work in real life.

I refer students here regularly because I know they'll get the right support. The early help they provide has made such a difference to young people in our school. Parents always feedback positively about the service.

As a parent, watching your child struggle with their mental health is heartbreaking. The team helped both me and my son understand what he was going through.

I was nervous about group therapy but it turned out to be exactly what I needed. Meeting other young people who understood what I was going through made such a difference.
