Young People's Counselling

We don't judge... but we do listen.

Would you or someone you care for benefit from Relate's counselling service for young people? This specially designed service is intended to help those aged from 10 to 25 who may be:

• Feeling torn between parents in conflict
• Having difficulty fitting in to a new step-family
• Thinking that no-one is listening to them or has time to notice them
• Finding it hard to make friends or build relationships with others
• Having problems with teachers or employers

If you, or a young person you know or have responsibility for, whether as a parent, a social worker, a probation officer or a teaching professional, might need some time and space to explore and understand their problems with relationships, then we can help.

When can I see a Young People’s counsellor?

If you live in the Borough of Richmond you can drop-in to speak with a Relate counsellor who will be available on Tuesday evenings between 4-6pm at Heatham House, Whitton Road, Twickenham, TW1 1BH.  There is no need to call first as this is a drop in service. See map

Relate Young People’s counsellors are also offering weekly counselling at the following schools in Richmond.

• Waldegrave School for Girls
• Whitton School

If you are a pupil at any of these schools and would like to access confidential counselling during the school day please talk with the student services staff at the school.

Counsellors don't judge, but they do listen, and they can help make a real difference. Counselling is completely confidential and all meetings are held in quiet, private rooms either on site or in our offices in Richmond or Kingston. Counselling hours are normally timed to take place after school or college and there is no charge for these sessions.

Relate counsellors for young people are highly trained.

Relate can also work with those involved with groups of young people, offering training, workshops and tailor-made services that can be offered at our premises or yours and which can help those dealing with difficult emotional situations and families in crisis. We work with hospices, hospitals, schools and youth offending teams as well as other groups and individual young people in Richmond, Kingston and Hounslow.
