Counselling at YPCS
Renew Counselling and Training now offers counselling for young people at our YPCS Centre in Brentwood.
We know just how difficult it can be to reach out for support. We want to give you a safe, confidential space where you can be heard and understood. Our counsellors are trained to work with young people, helping you to explore your difficulties and understand how they are affecting you.
Counselling has been taking place at YPCS (Young Peoples Counselling Service) for over 30 years, with counsellors supporting the young people of Brentwood and the surrounding areas to improve their mental health and emotional wellbeing.
We’re proud to be accredited by the BACP and abide by their code of ethics.
Renew’s work with children and young people in Brentwood, Basildon and the surrounding areas is funded by the NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board.
How does the process work?
You may feel awkward or as though you don’t want to talk – that’s okay! Our counsellors can work in lots of different ways. It’s often easier to express your feelings or concerns through art (e.g. painting, modelling), or while doing something else. We’ll look for ways to help you feel as comfortable as possible during your session.
You, your parent or your carer can contact us directly to arrange counselling.
