One to one counselling service for parents and carers to work through current or past emotional difficulties which impact them and in turn, their children and families.

Please note this service is currently only accepting referrals from Pudsey Cluster Leeds.

This service is open to parents, carers or guardians with dependents aged up to 18 who are working with a Pudsey Cluster professional, and are experiencing mild to moderate mental health issues.

Professional referral from Pudsey Cluster.

Definition of mild to moderate

Someone with a mild to moderate mental health problem will have some symptoms that can make their daily life more difficult to manage than usual. They are generally able to manage everyday functioning but are negatively affected by their emotions/feelings/unhelpful behaviours and would benefit from therapeutic support in learning how to manage these challenges. The service is not suitable for people in crisis or who have severe or complex mental health problems. Someone in crisis would not be able to manage the difficulties or challenges they face and may need specialist support.

Rediscover offers up to 12 weeks one to one counselling sessions delivered face-to-face at Manor House, Bramley. The counselling is provided by a counsellor (qualified, volunteer or student on placement), all are supported and managed by a fully qualified and experienced therapist.

How can counselling help

Parents, carers and guardians can use their sessions to:

  • talk about their difficulties in a safe and supportive environment, free from judgement.
  • gain a better understanding of their problems.
  • address past and present experiences which are impacting their life.
  • work out what changes they need to make to improve their mental health/emotional wellbeing.
