The Wellbeing Cafe service runs a weekly group for young people that takes place at Manor House in Bramley on Wednesdays evenings. The group is supported by youth workers who facilitate a range of activities including arts and crafts, self-care and positive activities.
Following an initial assessment to explore suitability for support, we offer up to 8 sessions of counselling. Available for young people 11 to 16 delivered by a counsellor (qualified, volunteer or student on placement), all are supported and managed by a fully qualified and experienced therapist. Young people do not need to attend the group to access the counselling support. These sessions are delivered in person at Manor House in Bramley, Leeds. Parent consent may be sought for engagement with counselling. Please contact us should you wish to discuss our counselling offer, email: counselling@barca-leeds.org
"I liked playing games, getting out of the house, finding out more about mental health / self harm and how and where to get support."
