Counselling can give us a private space to talk through what is difficult with someone who is not involved. Counselling is likely to be different from support and advice you may have had before. A counsellor will not tell you what to do or judge you, but always try to understand things from your point of view, and support you to find your own answers. Counselling is different for different people. Sometimes people find that counselling helps them to feel better and achieve their goals very quickly. For other people they may feel worse before they feel better. The outcome of counselling may not always be what you expect, but hopefully it will be positive. All sessions are confidential but your Counsellor will talk with you about this at your first session. At the moment The What? Centre can offer open ended counselling for people aged between 13 and 19 who are registered with a GP in the Dudley Borough. How do I book Counselling? Our Anger Management Programme run by Martin Hogg and Susan Maloney is into its third year. The programme assists young people aged 15 to 19 whose anger is getting in the way of what they want out of life. A mix of Cognitive Behavioural techniques and a unique relational approach allows young people to develop their own anger coping strategies. Successes have included young people previously classes as NEETs (not engaged in education, employment and training) have re-engaged. As well as a reduced rate of re-offending, a healthier lifestyle, better mental health, more willingness to engage with adults and a reduction in anti-social behaviour and weapons based crime. This year we ran a pilot programme with 18-25 year olds which repeated the success of that of the younger age group. For further information please contact us. T: 01384 379992 |
