Parents & Carers
If you are a parent or carer, it can be hard to know how best to support a young person who is struggling. You might feel worried, unsure what to say, or concerned about making things worse. At COGS, we are here to support you too. We offer free, confidential counselling for young people aged 12–25, providing a safe space where they can talk openly with a trained counsellor.
How COGS Can Help
Young people come to counselling for many different reasons, including anxiety, low mood, stress at school or college, family changes, relationship difficulties, becoming a parent, caring responsibilities or simply feeling overwhelmed.
Our counsellors work alongside young people, helping them explore their experiences, understand their feelings and find their own way forward. If you are concerned about a young person, you can contact us to talk through options and, if appropriate, make a referral.
