Counselling and Emotional Wellbeing Support

One-to-One

LYP’s Counselling and Emotional Well-Being team launched in September 2015 and has been supporting young people ever since. We provide early intervention before a young person requires more specialist support.

In 2021, LYP became part of Mindworks Surrey, the new emotional wellbeing and mental health service for children and young people in Surrey.

If you are a young person or you know a young person who would like support, you can make a request for support through the Mindworks website

Our Counselling and Emotional Wellbeing team are also commissioned by schools to support secondary aged students. They have all been trained in counselling and have been supporting local young people through one to one services for many years. Please contact us to find out more.

Key Work

Key Work is an additional support project for young people aged 11-17, who have been identified through community youth work, requiring extra one to one support from a youth worker.

Key Work provides the space for a young person to talk things through with a youth worker on a regular basis, and allows the youth worker to monitor the young person’s wellbeing and current life situations, being the main contact for further referrals.
