About the Practice
When a young person needs help but does not want another adult lecture, a youth counselling route can feel less exposing. Off The Record Croydon Young People Counselling supports South London 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?
Croydon Young People Counselling Charity: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.
Counselling and Youth Mental Health 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: Support can help young people talk about what is really happening while families get clearer signposting around risk, school and next steps.
