There are many reasons for children and young people to be feeling uncertain and anxious at the moment.
The routine of school has been disrupted, exam results have caused chaos for school leavers and access to regular support may have been interrupted or delayed.

Counselling can help children and young people through these challenging times and many counsellors have risen to the challenge of offering counselling remotely, whether by video, phone and even text message. Of course face-to-face counselling has had to pause in many settings whilst lockdown measures have been in place.
