Youth Mentoring & Counselling Services

We want young people to find their purpose and have a sense of ownership over their future self.

We believe all young people should be able to discuss their challenges with a safe, consistent and trusted adult who can empower them to overcome their difficulties and lead a happy, fulfilling life.

The one-to-one youth mentoring and counselling services for children and young people we provide are the best mental health services to build self-esteem and resilience in young people. Our youth support programmes are tailored to the specific needs of the young person, we set goals in collaboration with young people and start their journey towards achieving them.

Our youth support programme has a clear vision, to make young people healthier, happier and reach their full potential.

Every individual referred into our youth support programme will be offered the opportunity to get involved in local sports, apprenticeships and community-based projects to help connect them with their local community.

Throughout their support focus will be placed upon various topics including:

• The link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour
• Resilience and self-esteem
• Strengths and interests
• Support networks
• Life and social skills
• Positive relationships
• Healthy coping strategies
• Recognising and dealing with stress
• Personal aspirations for their future selves

Our support is provided either in school, at home or within the local community. We offer a variety of options in the community including ‘walk & talk’ sessions incorporating nature into the sessions and sports-based sessions to nurture and build on young people’s passions.

To monitor outcomes My Future Self Matters, use the ‘Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale’ at assessment and again at closure, this is an established emotional and behavioural screening tool.

Funding for our services is either met through possible funding pots available e.g. pupil premium, EHCP, higher needs block funding or by families/carers directly. Please contact us to discuss our charges.

Outsourced Children & Youth Support Services

We are passionate about enhancing the lives of young people and their families.

My Future Self Matters offer an onsite provision where we provide a designated mentor and/or counsellor to be based within education providers on an agreed day for 6 hours per week. During this time, we would work with up to 8 students identified by the education provider as needing extra support around their mental health, lifestyle and well-being.

We can come into schools, MATs (Multi Academy Trusts), Academies, or PRUs (Pupil Referral Units) to deliver this onsite provision, this is successfully being implemented in various settings across Buckinghamshire.

Parental consent would be gained prior to making a referral and a referral form will be completed for each student. We require a designated member of staff from the education provider to help coordinate the students. Feedback on each student will be available on request and a report will be issued at the end of their mentoring programme.
