Free counselling for children

Our goal with the “Someone to Talk To” program is to reach as many schools across the UK as possible, so we can provide mental health support to children when they need it.

This charity initiative offers free counselling sessions to schools, focusing on children who need help the most. With long waiting times for mental health services through the NHS, many children are left without the care they urgently need, putting their well-being at risk.

Our team of dedicated, qualified counselors is committed to making children’s mental health a priority, ensuring they get the support they need quickly. The “Someone to Talk To” campaign is here to provide vital mental health assistance exactly when it’s needed.

How does it work?

We are proud to offer six fully funded counselling sessions per child in schools through our charity. By working closely with schools, we ensure that support reaches the children who need it most. Each counselling session is tailored to the individual, ensuring the best possible care and support for every child.

A ‘Someone to Talk To’ counsellor will support any child in crisis, providing interventions to address their mental health needs. We will offer immediate assistance and resources to prevent further escalation and facilitate access to any external support that may be required for the individual child.

• Children experiencing anxiety, depression, or stress.

• Young people struggling with social, school, or home-life pressures.
