Cambridge Lifeskills

The counselling service has become an integral part of the support network available to the children of Cambridge.

Being local enables families with children in different schools to be seen and counselled in their familiar school environment. It also allows for close monitoring of the referred children. The counsellors usually work with the children in their base schools, negating the need for children to travel during the school day.

There have been traumatic incidents occur in the Cambridge schools and having ready access to counsellors in the community has benefited children and school staff at these difficult times.

Changes in society have meant many children are now exposed to an increasing range and number of issues. Children do not have the skills to deal with these but they are with encouragement and support often willing to talk through their personal situation with trusted adults such as the Cambridge Lifeskills counsellors.

We as a group greatly appreciate the support of sponsors and supporters and take every opportunity to make the wider community aware of these generous gestures of support. Currently there are 7 counsellors on the team working for Cambridge Lifeskills.
