About the Practice
When a young person needs help but private therapy is out of reach, Liverpool families need to know YPAS exists. YPAS Liverpool supports Liverpool 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.

Mental health, emotional wellbeing, anxiety, family stress, identity, school pressure and wider youth difficulties
YPAS supports a wide age range, including neurodivergent young people through Liverpool’s CAMHS network routes
Why Work With Us?
Liverpool Youth Counselling Route: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.
Community Hubs and School 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: Children and young people can access age-appropriate support without every family having to start with a private fee.
