We're kicking off another week of our campaign with an inspiring story of one of our young people who received Spark2Life counselling and came away from it with tools he'll use for life.
Alex was referred to Spark2Life counselling by his school. He found it hard to express himself, he felt misunderstood and frustrated.
Alex’s counsellor helped him to explore his feelings and emotions. Together, they explored his relationships with family and friends and worked towards being able to recognise and articulate his needs and feelings clearly. Using reflective exercises, he learned coping strategies for managing frustrations and responding to challenging behaviour in others.
By the end of Alex’s sessions, there was clear growth in his emotional regulation and self-awareness. He said he felt more confident in expressing his feelings in a constructive way and manage conflict without escalation. The skills and coping mechanisms he built will now set him up for life.
This is what makes counselling so effective. Alex’s life was changed, even in such a small way.
