Counselling for children / young people aged 5 to 15 years whose parents are seperating or divorced. Counselling sessions based on play are available for younger children.

Counselling is free to families from Hertfordshire and sessions are provided in the Children's Suite at Hertfordshire Mediation Service premises in Old Hatfield.

Counselling sessions are one to one or group based and five sessions are offered on a weekly basis. Wherever possible counselling is provided out of school hours.

Each child is encouraged to express themselves freely in a safe, caring environment, where our counsellors create an atmosphere of trust, mutual respect and confidentiality.

All counsellors are qualified to diploma level with significant practical experience. All undergo CRB enhanced disclosure and are familiar with child protection procedures.

We are happy to accept referrals from parents, carers, GP's, PCT's, Schools, CSF (Hertfordshire County Council), CAFCASS, Solicitors, Family Courts, clients of the Mediation Service and the network of voluntary organisations dealing with Children's Fund issues.
