Young Person's Advisory Service
YPAS offers counselling on a one to one basis to young people aged 10 - 25. YPAS is a member of the British Association of Counsellors (BAC), and all YPAS counsellors are fully qualified to diploma level or working towards diploma level.

You can access YPAS counselling services by phoning or popping in to make an appointment. You could also ask a friend, social worker or teacher to help you make the appointment, but you must want to come along and talk, not just come because someone else thinks it might be a good idea.

YPAS counselling services are available from Monday to Thursday- 10.00 am to 4.00 pm and 10.00 am to 3.00 pm on Fridays. YPAS holds evening counselling sessions on a Monday and Wednesday from 5.00 - 8.00 p.m.
