Youth Counselling

Is counselling right for me?

If you are wondering if youth counselling is something that can help you, here are some questions to ask yourself:

Do you ever have really strong feelings you don’t know what to do with? Sadness, frustration, loneliness, anger, anxiety or guilt?

Is it hard to talk about these feelings with your friends or family?

Have you been having major problems at home, at school, at work or in your neighborhood?

Are you sleeping or eating more or less than usual?

Have you lost enjoyment from things that you used to like to do?

Do you find that these thoughts and feelings have been having a bad effect on your grades at school, your friendships or the relationship you have with your family?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, then we can tell you that youth counselling would be helpful for you. Pursuing Youth Counselling can help you in understanding your feelings and problems and learn how to deal with them in your everyday life. Your conversations with your therapist will be kept confidential and not shared with anyone* (even your parents), unless you give your permission.

*Few exceptions of confidentiality will be discussed with you during your very first session

How will youth counselling help me?

Having a third party as an objective listener can make discussing difficult issues a lot easier. Our Therapists are there to help you explore what you’re going through and how you feel about it. Their main goal is to listen to you and help you figure out what you want, and then they help to empower you to make good decisions.

The Family Enhancement Centre has many therapists who specifically work with youth and are skilled at quickly putting you at ease and making each session a positive experience.

Did you know that therapy has been proven to help decrease anxiety and ‘out of control’ feelings, bring a sense of relief and motivation, help you begin to regain a sense of hope and direction.
