Counselling at Granton Youth
It is good to have different people in your life that you can talk to. Sometimes it can be good to talk to someone who is not in your family or one of your friends. You can meet in an accessible, safe and supportive place, and as you get to know them, you might want to share your problems, worries and things that are going on in your life. This can help you to make sense of your emotions and support your wellbeing.

Alternatively, you might want to join a local group where together you can learn about ways to look after your mental health and wellbeing. You will learn ways to manage your feelings, deal with stress, build on your skills and increase confidence and resilience.
