Young people who use the YPC are aged 11 19 needing help and advice around their wellbeing and mental health. Many of those we support are experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem or family issues. We work closely with other organisations, including those based at the YPC, so we can help young people connect with these for specialist support e.g. around gender or sexuality, or because they are young carers or refugees.

The YPC team provide one-to-one and group sessions. Many are referred by other professionals or concerned parents; others find us themselves. We start with an informal conversation to put young people at ease, explain our confidentiality policy and discuss how we can best help.

Our in-person one-to-one and small group sessions are for young people in Brighton and Hove running for 6-8 weeks focussing on a specific topic e.g. getting active, photography and wellbeing or managing anxiety.

Our online counselling and youth work support is for young people in East Sussex and works through our secure-platform email or face to face through online video conferencing.
