Text-based Counselling
When things feel really overwhelming, you might feel very alone. You might feel desperate for help, but find that the idea of having to book appointments, get out of the house or that the idea of going and 'talking' to someone is impossible. That's where our online support services comes in; it gives you the opportunity to get things off your chest in your own time and on your own terms.
We provide free text-based counselling to young people aged 11-25 in Croydon, Sutton and Merton.
Online workshops
At our online workshops we share practical tips and info about issues you might be struggling with and there is also the opportunity to meet other young people and share ideas in a safe and confidential chat room and Zoom (there is no pressure to appear on camera).
Our webinars run on Thursdays at 5pm.

On July 14th , our yr6 cohort met with Yasti who is a KS3 pupil and a former Howard Primary pupil.
Mrs Pollington introduced the yr6 cohort to a fantastic video which has lots of helpful tips about being moving up to year 7. The yr6 pupils then took part in a Question& Answer session with Yasti.
The presentation supported our yr6 cohort feeling more confident about the change. They had so many questions for Yasti!
If you missed the presentation, please have a look at this video which might help you feeling more at ease with the transition to yr7.
Enjoy Summer!
Mrs Pollington & The Wellbeing Team
Technology is a big part of all our lives. Children love nothing better than playing on their Xbox, watch YouTube videos, message their friends. We all use social medias.
Sometimes though, we might find it difficult to switch off as technology can create dependency. Our brain can become overstimulated so when we are called for dinner, we find it hard to break away from the console and even when we are eating we might find it difficult to concentrate on the food and on the people around us.
Can we use technology to become find calm?
Yes we can!
Have a look at the CALM ZONE website and VIRTUAL CALM DOWN ACTIVITIES website.
You will discover calming games, exercises, yoga videos, calming music which you and your family can use to find calm.
