Counselling with amend is a time for you to share your stories with a caring person.

We listen to stories about being angry, sad, worried, problems at school or home, problems with friends... and more.

You can share your stories in many ways, through play, games, arts and crafts, writing and lots more.

amend counsellors are experienced with qualifications in counselling, psychology or social work.

Your counsellor can come to your home or school, or you can come to amend. You can decide this with your counsellor.

We can also do the Fun Friends and Friends for Life programs to help children build emotional resilience, problem-solving abilities and coping skills for life.

We like to meet up with your for one hour each week for up to 18 sessions. Counselling at amend is free and confidential (unless we need to tell someone to help keep you safe).

Who can join the amend Child Counselling Program?
