About the Practice
When family stress is carried quietly for too long, community support can make help feel less distant. Bogside and Brandywell Health Forum Family 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?
Derry Community Family Support: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.

Wellbeing and Local Navigation: 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: Support can help families move from confusion to action while keeping the child’s emotional needs in view.
