Children & Young People
Building Better Futures
What we do
We work with children in local Primary Schools, using Art and Talking Therapy to help them process emotions and feelings.
Our 1:1 service based in central Glasgow provides affordable support for children and young people from 5 – 16.
What difference does it make?
It’s often difficult for children and young people to find a space which feels safe and in which they can process hurts, hang-ups and fears.
We provide a neutral, confidential space, staffed by professional, experienced therapists who care.
We offer regular review space with the therapist, child/young person and parent/caregiver whilst maintaining confidentiality in terms of the material processed.
We have robust risk management/safeguarding procedures to make sure everyone is protected.
Research shows that the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences leaves a long lasting legacy. Access to effective, early support can counter these effects.
What to expect
Step 1 - Contacting Us
Parent or caregiver refers a child or young person or a young person who has the capacity to make the decision refers themselves by contacting counselling@healingfortheheart.co.uk or phoning our confidential number on 0141 406 1320.
Step 2 - Completing the Forms
We add the client to our electronic system and a link to complete paperwork is sent to the parent or guardian (or the young person if they self refer.)
Step 3 - Appointment Allocated
We allocate an initial appointment with the therapist who is likely to work with the child/young person. At this appointment, the therapist will work with the child and the parent and child together. Thereafter, with the exception of review meetings, the sessions are with the child only and are confidential.
