Counselling provides a safe, confidential space to talk about your feelings, worries, thoughts and fears with a trained professional, within the confines of Child/Vulnerable Adult Safeguarding. It is the process of helping and guiding you to resolve personal, social, behavioural or psychological issues.

Advocacy is about ensuring that people have their views heard and respected and giving them a say in any decision making process which may affect their lives. It’s also about having your own choice, representing your needs, making your views known, gaining access to services and offering support.
