Time to Talk West Berkshire is a charity that delivers flexible, confidential emotional and psychological wellbeing support for young people aged 11-25 and parents connected to West Berkshire
We offer flexible support that is free at the point of delivery. This includes a confidential counselling service and a supported online programme for young people aged 11-25. We are the only organisation in West Berkshire offering free counselling to young people under 18. We support over 700 young people each year, providing more than 8,000 counselling sessions, and our supported online programme not only offers modules to support young people, but also parents.
Since 1986 our team of highly experienced, qualified counsellors, has supported diverse needs such as bereavement, family breakdown, low mood, anxiety and gender dysphoria. Every young person is assessed within two weeks, essential to providing some early intervention and assessment of risk.
Your support will pay for us to deliver additional counselling sessions and will directly benefit local young people in urgent need of help.
If you need support and/or want to find out more, please email us at hello@t2twb.org.
