Young People’s Counselling Service

Sunderland Mind offer a Young Persons Counselling Service. This is an appointment based service with referrals taken from parents and professionals.

The first initial appointment is to make sure that counselling is the best way forward for the individual. It is expected that a parent or carer is present within the building at all times. There will always be a discussion to agree any further support, and help to arrange this.

Appointments are confidential unless a young person tells us that they, or someone else is in an unsafe situation. We may then have to share information to prevent someone from being harmed. We would always speak to the young person first about the need to do this and we would explain what would happen next. 

We are always here to help throughout the counselling process.
