'My counsellor is such a great and amazing help to me. I had no hope at the start I thought nothing would change. She really got me through my hard stages and I feel better than ever. Thank you’
‘I was really worried about him but now it feels like a weight has lifted and you have been a life saver really, I couldn’t have done it without you. The school have said the same, they have seen a big change in him too. I’m just so glad he met '
Our dedicated team of therapists offer weekly Counselling, Art and Play Therapy sessions for children and young people aged 5-18 from our central Edinburgh base. With experience of working with anxiety, depression, trauma, parental separation, school difficulties, neurodiversity and much more - contact us today to find out how we can help.
We offer a confidential space for young people to help them explore or reflect on things that feel important to them. Sometimes it can be difficult to know what to say or where to start, but our team of skilled counsellors and therapists are there to help them find a way to tell their story and explore their difficulties – whether through making art, creative activities, games or talking. Over time, counselling can help reduce worrying feelings, improve relationships, and help young people find new ways of coping.
We want to make sure that we are the right service for you and so we offer you a 'Welcome Meeting' at a reduced rate where you will be able to come and meet with one of the team, tell us a little more about what has brought you/your child to counselling and hear about the service we provide. This will be a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have and get to know us. If you would like to go ahead then your child will be offered a weekly 50 minute 1:1 session with a Counsellor or Art or Play Therapist.
Sessions happen at our dedicated base in Simpson House, 52 Queen Street. We have young people's counselling rooms as well as art rooms that are designed to help young people feel at ease. We have some sessions available after school and others that young people can come to during the school day.
Sessions are charged at a fixed rate of £60 a session, with welcome meetings at a reduced rate of £45. This service is a social enterprise, helping to fund our charitable activity.
We are also an approved provider for City of Edinburgh Council’s Certified Counselling and Therapies Framework - so if you are a school or social worker looking for counselling provision then you are able to purchase our services this way. Please get in touch directly for more information.
