Counselling...
.. Is designed to help you help yourself. Your counsellor will respect you, listen to you, won’t force opinions on you, judge you, or tell you what to do. The aim is to help you explore your problems, achieve a greater understanding of yourself and your personal resources so that you may find your own answers, helping you to become more in charge of your life and make positive, healthy choices.

Perhaps you are feeling:

  • Worried or confused

Everybody is different so Brook counsellors have many ways of working with lots of different young people to help you become the best of who you are – to realise your potential and create the life you want to live!
