Our counsellors also support primary education by offering free counselling to children aged 10 and above who present with complex issues associated with significant loss. The charity also provides counselling to young people who are being educated outside school and an evening and weekend online service to those who are unable to attend for face to face counselling.
Eye to Eye operate a number of counselling outreach bases in Rhondda Cynon Taf, for young people up to the age of 30 years. Our outreach work is made possible by the generosity of our partner agencies and our student volunteer counsellors.
The charity offers development placements to student counsellors from colleges and universities, who wish to specialise in working with young people.
