Over 25s counselling

Although No5 is a service for young people, we understand that sometimes it is helpful for other people involved with them to get support too. We can see people over the age of 25 who have a personal or professional connection with young people, for example parents, carers, teachers and social workers. We ask for £20 per session towards the cost of this service.

Support for Parents and Carers

When times are difficult for young people, their family members can often feel in need of someone to talk to as well. It can also be difficult for the parents or carers of children and young people to come to terms with them needing more help with emotional issues than they themselves are able to offer. We can provide a place for you to ask questions and get help, including individual counselling and group support.

Our counsellors are fully trained in safeguarding and child protection practices and are professionally supervised alongside their counselling practice. No5 is an organisational member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

You can contact us on 0118 901 5668 for more information and/or a confidential chat.

We are always keen to engage with parents whose children have had counselling at No5; if you would like to share your story with us and raise awareness of our services, please contact our outreach worker, Hayley, on outreach@no5.org.uk.
