About the Practice
When a young person will not sit in a counselling room, online support can make the first step feel smaller. Kooth Northern Ireland Online Young People Support supports Derry/Londonderry families with play-based and counselling-style emotional wellbeing support for children who need more than another conversation at the kitchen table. The focus is safer expression, stronger connection and practical understanding for the adults around the child.

Why Work With Us?
Online Young People Support: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.
Digital Counselling-Style Access: Play, creative work and counselling-style support help children communicate through action, story, art, movement and relationship when direct questions only make them close down.
Parent and School Connection: The route can give young people somewhere to start while parents work out whether in-person therapy or CAMHS is needed.
