The return to school can be a difficult transition for many children and young people. While new routines, friendships and expectations can be exciting, they can also bring anxiety, emotional overwhelm and a loss of confidence, especially for children who are already struggling.
At Wellspring, our counsellors and therapists are seeing an increased demand for children’s counselling in Harrogate and across North Yorkshire.
For some children, these worries feel invisible. They may struggle to explain what’s wrong, yet carry the weight of pressure, fear or self-doubt into the classroom each day.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we’re able to make children’s counselling more affordable for families who might otherwise be unable to access support. Donations help bridge the gap between what families can contribute and the true cost of delivering counselling, allowing us to reduce waiting times and offer timely, specialist support. Our therapists work at a pace that feels right for each child, offering a calm and supportive environment to build confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing.
Early support can make a lasting difference in a child’s wellbeing beyond school. By keeping counselling accessible, donations help ensure children in our local community can access help when they need it most.
We remain committed to supporting children, families and schools across Harrogate, Knaresborough and the wider Yorkshire area and we are incredibly grateful to our donors, whose kindness makes this vital work possible.
