Support for Young People

We are currently developing the service we provide for young people and this is what we are now offering:-

• Support for children 11 years and above (Secondary school age)
• Young people 16 years and above can come for counselling unaccompanied
• Venue may be Welton Methodist Chapel, Welton Children's Centre or another appropriate venue; depending on the age of the child.  Sometimes this can also be within the school setting.
• All counsellors providing counselling to children on behalf of Welton Counselling Practice have been DBS checked and have undertaken up-to-date Safe-guarding training.

Children 11-15 years

• Must be accompanied by a parent / caregiver and permission given for counselling
• Depending on each individual child, a decision can be made on whether the parent / caregiver will stay in the waiting room or come into the counselling room.  Usually it is best for the parent / caregiver to wait outside.
• Confidentiality is different for children and this is discussed at the Assessment / Initial Counselling Session.  Information sharing is encouraged where necessary but still adhering to confidentiality where possible.
