FAQ’s for parents/carers

Can I support the Counselling work?
Yes, and I welcome this. Experience shows that the most helpful thing a parent can do is to show an acceptance of counselling as a normal and useful activity, and to show an interest if their son/daughter wishes to talk about it, but not to press them if they don’t. We acknowledge that this isn’t an easy task, and it is quite natural for parents to feel anxious about what may be being said in the sessions.
It is always my hope that talking with someone will lead to greater openness with parents and families, you will need to allow a little time for this to happen.

If my child wants to see a Counsellor does that mean I am failing as a parent?
Absolutely not! We all experience occasions when it feels hard to speak to those closest to us about things which are bothering us. Often this can be because we don’t want to worry those we love best, or because we want help. Thinking things through with someone else outside of the family can be helpful. I will not be judging you or your child, but looking to help them find their way through whatever is troubling them.
