Base 51 Counselling Service

The Base 51 Counselling Service provides time and space for young people aged 11 to 25 to talk and explore difficult feelings in an environment that is safe and confidential.  Our Counsellors will support young people to gain insight into their feelings, thoughts and behaviours through talking, listening, reflection, and if appropriate creative activities and to work with them to make changes where they feel is necessary. 

Counselling is not about offering advice or about managing a situation for a young person. Some of the things that counselling can support young people with are issues around relationships, family issues, bullying, neglect, violence, abuse, anger, trauma, being self-critical, loss, foster-care, bereavement, sexuality, exploitation, drugs and alcohol, disordered eating, anxiety, panic, stress, depression, suicidal thoughts or self-harm to name a few! But counselling can also be about positive growth and exploration of your experiences.

Base 51 counselling is subsidised to ensure that all young people can have an opportunity for support, cost per session is based upon your household income. You can book as many sessions as you need in advance and we aim to keep waiting times to a minimum. to find out more about pricing please see our website www.base51.org.uk. to make a referral please contact counselling@base51.org.uk
