Wiltshire Mind Young People's Counselling Service

[Wiltshire Mind] has a free counselling for children and young people which provides a safe space where highly specialist counsellors use a range of creative therapeutic methods to help young people connect to, and express, their emotions. Helping young people develop coping strategies can mean they are able to thrive rather than just survive.


Their counselling for children and young people enables people aged 11-18 to talk to one of their counsellors about how they are feeling. It might be that they are experiencing problems at home or at school, or that they are finding some things in life difficult and need support to work through their thoughts and emotions.

Counsellors help young people to make sense of what they are feeling, and develop ways of coping with difficulties so that they can enjoy life more fully. Depending on the age and need of the young person, their counsellors offer creative ways to help them express their feelings, such as through art or play.

Sessions are currently offered both online via Zoom or in person at their Trowbridge office. The session takes place once a week at the same time, and continues for up to 24 weeks depending on the individual need. The sessions are kept confidential between the young person and the counsellor unless they have concerns about their safety.
