About counselling
We all go through times when we feel worried, confused, angry or sad. Whatever you’re going through, it helps to talk about it. We’re here to support you and help you find ways to cope. No problem is too big or too small.
If you live in Gloucestershire and are aged between 9-25 there are lots of ways you can get support from Let's Talk Well.
To sign up for counselling you’ll first need to contact our friendly receptionist during opening times or get your parent or someone you trust to do this for you.

Types of counselling
We understand that different ways of speaking to a counsellor work for different people. That’s why we try and provide a variety of options to make counselling accessible to everyone.
Face-to-face
You can choose to meet your counsellor at your school or college, or at another suitable location near to where you live.
Online
A 1-2-1 instant text chat with one of our qualified counsellors that’s a lot like texting, and you can do it on your computer, phone or tablet.
Telephone
Some people find it challenging to talk face-to-face; remote phone calls offer the opportunity to talk with trained counsellors.
Video
Remote counselling enables you to continue getting support from Let's Talk Well counsellors without having to go into school or public buildings.
Our counselling offer
We are a service focused on early intervention and accessibility, which means we provide short‑term, focused counselling rather than long‑term therapy. This approach helps us support more young people each year and reduces waiting times.
Our short‑term model is designed to offer meaningful support at the right time, without long delays. If a young person feels they need further support in the future, they are welcome to return after a three‑month gap, and we will be happy to work with them again. We also recognise that some young people may need longer‑term or specialist input. When this is the case, we will work closely with the young person and their family or school where appropriate to ensure they are connected with the most suitable ongoing services.
Our aim is to provide timely, high‑quality support while ensuring every young person has access to the right help when they need it.
Think a one off session might suit you?
First Step Session is a single, solution-focused session – an ideal choice if you are facing a specific issue and want some help working out what you want to be different.
