Every child deserves to feel safe, confident, and understood — and that’s exactly what our one‑to‑one counselling sessions are all about: https://theparachuteproject.co.uk/counselling/

💡 Using trauma‑informed techniques and psychoeducation, we tailor each session to meet the needs of young people and their families.

✨ We offer blocks of 8 sessions, giving children the chance to build emotional resilience and develop practical tools they can carry with them every day.

👀 Over the next few posts, we’ll be sharing a behind‑the‑scenes look at the different types of sessions we run — all designed with young people at the heart of everything we do.
