Area 43- Schools and Community-Based Counselling Services in West Wales

Area 43 provides an Independent School and Community Based Counselling Service in Carmarthenshire from Reception to Year 13. Area 43’s counselling service is available to all children and young people, whether they are in school or electively home-educated, community settings and online sessions may be offered as an alternative to school settings as appropriate. Counsellors will establish any special requirements during the first interaction and determine the preferred language, ensuring sensitivity to cultural differences that may have an impact. 

Counselling is a skilled way of helping people with personal and developmental issues and difficulties in a safe and confidential environment which gives them an opportunity to explore, discover and clarify ways to live in a more satisfying and resourceful way. It offers the opportunity to increase self-awareness, develop personal resources and understand their problems, as well as develop strategies to cope with change. Our counselling service is delivered by highly trained professionals and managed by people who fully understand the values, aims and limitations of counselling.
