Youth Counselling
We provide free, confidential counselling for young people aged 11-21 across Milton Keynes. Our BACP-accredited service addresses anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties through six structured sessions. Each programme begins with an intake assessment to ensure appropriate counsellor matching and treatment planning.
Intake Assessments
Before counselling begins, we conduct comprehensive intake meetings to understand client needs and ensure our service is appropriate. These assessments help match clients with suitable counsellors and establish treatment goals while maintaining strict confidentiality protocols.
School-Based Therapy
We deliver counselling services at multiple schools including MK Academy and Lord Grey School. This school-based approach improves accessibility for students facing mental health challenges, with sessions tailored to educational environments and timetables.
Group Supervision
Our counsellors receive monthly group supervision alongside individual sessions, ensuring ongoing professional development. This structured support framework maintains service quality while providing counsellors with peer learning opportunities and case discussion forums.
Community Outreach
We operate from multiple community locations including the Moorlands Centre, Cornerstone Church, and West Bletchley Wellbeing Centre. These accessible venues provide confidential spaces for young people across different Milton Keynes districts to access mental health support.
