If you’re reading this page, you may already be thinking about getting help. 

If you want support and it's not an emergency, pick up the phone to HYCS 020 8568 1818 to request 1-2-1 counselling support, available free if you are aged 11-25* and live, study or work in Hounslow Borough.  We can book you in for an intro' session and take it from there.

You don’t need an adult or health professional to refer you to HYCS but if you would like a friend or parent to help you to contact us, call when you are with them. If you would prefer us to call you, just email with your contact details.

If things are feeling really difficult for you and if it is urgent so you need immediate support - look at our emotional crisis leaflet for 24 hour services and guidance. 
Just click on image to link to the leaflet.

* Please note, unfortunately we cannot register you for counselling if there is less than 6 months until your 26th birthday.

Booking An Intro Session
If you are aged 11-25 and live, work or study in Hounslow Borough, why not contact us to book an intro' to counselling session? This session is a chance to check us out and see if counselling is for you and to explore what is troubling you.  

Intro' sessions can be face to face or (for 13+) by telephone - we will let you know what's available when you book.  We can usually offer these intro' sessions quite quickly once you’ve first called - typically within a couple of weeks. 

Please note, unfortunately we cannot register you if there is less than 6 months until your 26th birthday.

What Happens After the Intro Session?
At the end of your intro' session, you decide if you want to sign up for regular counselling - the choice is yours.  If so, we will add you to our waiting list to be assigned to a regular slot.  Waiting times can vary - please contact our office team to check how long you may expect to be on the waiting list before being allocated an appointment.

About telephone appointments
If opting for telephone counselling, it's worth noting that this can feel very different to face to face support.  Please read our guide to telephone counselling at HYCS here which will help you consider if its the right thing for you and to ensure that you are prepared for your first session.

When trying out something new, it's natural to be a bit nervous! Our friendly Intro’ team and counsellors understand that and will be pleased to meet you.

This section includes all the info’ you'll need to prepare you for your first session whether by telephone/online or in person if you are visiting our Isleworth Centre.
