Who is Place2Be?

Place2Be is a children and young people’s mental health charity, who have been providing one-to-one counselling sessions, mental health support and training in UK schools for over 30 years. We believe that children and young people should not have to face mental health problems alone.

Our counselling service is for young people experiencing a variety of mental health difficulties. Our service aims to give children and young people the tools and skills they need to deal with their problems in a healthy and constructive way.
