What are your views on counselling?

If you are aged between 11-19 years and live in Hertfordshire the Counselling Team want to hear from you!

This team want to know about your views about counselling services. You don't need to have been to counselling to be able to have a say in what you think is needed for young people.

"Since counselling I haven't run away from home once. I feel understood for the first time in my life. Thank you so much" What is counselling?

Counselling can give people an opportunity to talk about their experiences, work through them and find a positive way forward. Counsellors do not judge you and will keep your sessions confidential unless they think the person is at risk of harm.

With your help they can try to improve services so that if you or your friends need someone to talk to, you know where to go to for support

What will happen to all the responses?

A new Counselling Strategy is going to be written for children and young people over the next few months and every response received from you will be looked at to ensure that your views are reflected.

What is in it for you?

A genuine opportunity to help shape services that you, your friends or brothers and sisters may need to access at some point in Herts.
