One-to-one Child Counselling at West Street Counselling Centre

One-to-one counselling at West Street Counselling Centre, in Fareham, provides children 4-11 years old, with a confidential space to talk about things that are troubling them.

I work on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings between the hours of 3pm and 7pm.

Counselling is offered on either a long or short-term basis depending on the individual needs of your child or young person. A range of art mediums will be provided including paints, arts and crafts, puppets, clay, masks, movement, poetry and storytelling. Creative activities are a wonderful way to help individuals to express and communicate their feelings. However, if this doesn’t interest your child or then ‘just talking’ is fine too.

Fees

Initial Parent Consultation – £45 (50 minutes) A parent-only consultation to discuss your child’s needs and explore whether counselling is the right support for them.

Child Counselling Sessions – £60 (50 minutes) A tailored one-to-one counselling session using play, creativity and talking therapy. I recommend beginning with a minimum of six sessions.

You will be invited to attend the sixth session with your child to reflect on their progress. At this point, we can decide together whether to conclude the work and extend it with a further two sessions to bring to a close or continue with another block of six. This will depend on your child’s needs and goals.
