About the Practice
When a young person in Reading is struggling but cannot say it at home, counselling can create the first honest space. No5 Young People Reading Counselling supports Reading 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?
Reading Young People Counselling: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.

Counselling Outreach and Youth Support: 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 service helps young people talk through distress while families gain a clearer route beyond waiting and worrying.
