counselling
Counselling is a time and a space for you to feel heard and to be understood. It's a conversation with someone who really listens to you, takes what you say seriously and doesn’t judge you.
It might feel strange at first, talking about your feelings with someone you don’t know, but Centre 33 counsellors are trained to listen to young people with an open mind and let you take things at your own pace.

This is a space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings with a trained professional who will be able to support you in a confidential and non-judgemental way.

WHY get help?

Counselling sessions can help you find ways to manage emotions and feelings that might be affecting your life. Counselling is about helping you to work things out for yourself, celebrating your strengths and supporting you to look at things differently.
a different perspective
Speaking with somebody outside of your network can give a different perspective and empower you to share your difficulties and find where you may be stuck. It can really help you to feel better about yourself.
