How our support works

How can getting support help you?

Counselling

Counsellors are trained in human development, psychological processes, being empathetic, unbiased and non-judgemental. Time to Talk counsellors are also chosen because they are kind, compassionate, warm and reliable.

Recent scientific research shows that these aspects of counselling actually help our brains and nervous system to balance and heal:-

  • Identifying and naming your feelings
  • Being accompanied by a counsellor who is emotionally balanced
  • Making sense of your narrative/life story
  • Being understood
  • Mindfully reflecting on feelings and events
  • Learning tools to manage anxiety, anger & low moods
  • Observing your thoughts and feelings with a counsellor
  • Learning what causes dysregulation in you
Some of the things that young people have told us have been helpful in counselling are:-

  • Offloading
  • Talking about how I am feeling
  • Learning about why people might react to me in the way they do
  • Talking about stuff that happened & understanding it more
  • Talking about changing my self image
  • Learning ways to cope
  • Having a safe place to talk and feel my sad feelings without being judged or ‘fixed’
  • Learning more about my anxiety
  • Telling someone stuff I don’t want to tell my family and friends
  • Doing creative stuff that showed me different stuff about myself
