NEW SERVICE! In response to COVID-19 – Short-term online video Counselling
During this time of uncertainty many young people will be feeling worried and anxious.
121 Youth Counselling is currently offering 3 – 6 Counselling sessions free of charge to support young people in Hart District.
If you would like some short-term Counselling and you live in Hart, go to school in Hart or are registered with a Hart surgery, then please fill in the Referral form for Short Term Counselling available on our website and email it to 121@hartvolaction.org.uk. Alternatively, please call 01252 815652 and choose the option for Youth Counselling to complete the form over the phone. We will then be in touch to arrange sessions.
Currently there is no waiting list for this service.
Please note that a young person should not access this service if they have a more serious mental Health issue that requires longer term Counselling. An assessment will be done before short term Counselling starts and if the Counsellor considers that a Young Person is in need of a longer-term service then this will be offered and the Young person placed on the waiting list for up to 20 sessions of Counselling instead (details below).
