Young People's Counselling
Tilehouse Counselling provides professional counselling for young people in Hitchin and North Herts. This service is offered to young people between the age of 13 and 18 who are suffering from emotional difficulties and feel the need to talk to someone. We ask parents if they are able to make an affordable contribution to our costs.

Confidentiality
What you tell you Counsellor is confidential, and you can expect what you say to be treated with sensitivity, respect and discretion. However, in order to ensure the quality of counselling, all counsellors have regular consultative support in supervision. Identifying details of individual clients are witheld. The only circumstances in which confidentiality would be broken is when a counsellor considers someone to be at risk of serious harm. Ideally, and in the majority of cases, this is done with a client's full knowledge. Our safeguarding policy is here.
