Free GOSSIP HURTS MORE THAN YOU THINK: POSTER GUIDE FOR CHILDREN

Gossip can seem small, but for a child or young person it can feel personal, upsetting and unsafe. It can damage friendships, break trust and leave children feeling left out or judged. Many children join in without fully understanding the impact their words have on others.

Helping children pause and think before they speak is a simple but powerful step. Teaching them to ask “Is it true, is it kind, is it necessary?” can build empathy, strengthen relationships and support more respectful behaviour in everyday situations.

Hi I’m Grace and I’m a Trainee Children’s Well-being Practitioner

🎉What part of work brings me the most joy🎉
“What brings me the most joy is getting to know the young people and creating a space where they feel comfortable to talk. It's really rewarding to see young people grow in confidence and begin to open up and feel more understood and supported”

🎉What’s one thing I wish every child, young person or family knew about therapy? 🎉

🎉What personal skill or quality do I rely on most in my day-to-day work? 🎉
“I think empathy is really important in my work, as it helps young people feel heard, understood and supported”

✨Meet the Therapist: A Little About Me ✨

👋🏼I’m Brigette and I’m a counsellor working with Children and young people.

🎉What part of work brings me the most joy🎉
“The part of my work that brings me the most joy is when a child, young person, or adult feels safe enough to be themselves. I feel privileged when someone who may be struggling to trust others starts to open up, even in small ways, and begin to make sense of their unique lived experiences. Being part of their journey and offering a safe space where they can explore their thoughts and feelings brings me a deep sense of purpose and is incredibly meaningful”

🎉What’s one thing I wish every child, young person or family knew about therapy? 🎉
“I wish every adult, child, young person, and family knew that therapy doesn’t require you to have the “right words” or to know exactly what to say. It is simply a space where someone will listen, sit alongside you, and meet you where you are in life without judgement. I believe that often the most important part of therapy is simply having someone present who is willing to sit beside you as you explore difficult feelings and experiences, therapy can be tough!”

🎉What personal skill or quality do I rely on most in my day-to-day work? 🎉
“The quality I rely on most in my work is empathy. I try to bring a calm and steady presence so that children, young people, and adults feel safe, respected, and understood. Patience and consistency are also important to me, particularly when working with people who may have experienced disruption or difficulty trusting others. I believe trust is built over time, being reliable and present can make a meaningful difference as someone begins to explore and make sense of their own unique way of seeing the world”

🎉What’s something outside of work that helps me stay grounded or inspired? 🎉
“Spending time with my horses and being outdoors helps me stay grounded. Being in nature and having quiet moments away from the busyness of everyday life allows me time to reflect and recharge. These moments of calm and connection help me maintain balance and bring a thoughtful and attentive presence into my work”

🎉My favourite animal and why?🎉
“My favourite animal is a horse. Why? throughout my life I have always been drawn to their calm, stoic presence and quiet sense of steadiness. I have always admired their sensitivity and quiet strength. Spending time with them is a place where I feel calm and grounded. The way horses connect through quiet presence and trust, rather than words, reminds me how powerful it can be simply to sit alongside someone and be truly there with them, accepting them as they are”
