Home / Bucks Mind Guide Directory / Bucks Mind – Counselling for Young People

Our service offers compassionate and confidential support to young people (aged 13-21) facing emotional and mental health challenges.

Our professional counsellors provide a safe space to explore feelings, build coping strategies and foster personal growth.

Who is this suitable for?

Our service is for young people aged 13 to 21. We exclusively serve young people living in Bucks to ensure focused and accessible support within the local community.

What can I expect?

You can expect a supportive, non-judgmental environment where our counsellors actively listen, collaborate, and help develop coping strategies and emotional resilience. You can choose between convenient face-to-face and online (using a secure link) counselling appointments.

Our main objective is to provide a confidential counselling service that caters specifically to young people, regardless of age, gender, sexuality, disability, religion, or background. We operate independently from GPs and other Statutory Agencies. We will only report concerns to other agencies if we have worries about the safety of a service user or someone they tell us about.

Individuals will be offered an initial appointment to ensure that our service is suitable for them. Following this, they will be allocated a dedicated counsellor and offered weekly counselling sessions, each lasting 50 minutes.

Please be aware that due to high demand for this service, there may be a waiting list for ongoing counselling. We strive to accommodate everyone as efficiently as possible and appreciate your understanding during this time.

Our service is an organisational member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and our counsellors adhere to and work within the BACP Ethical Framework for the counselling professions.
