Counselling

Who we are:

The counselling service is a free, confidential service for young people aged 14-25 living, working or studying in Croydon.

What we do:

Counselling is a confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, beliefs or experiences over a period of time with the support of a trained listener. It is a friendly and non-judgemental space in which to get to know and understand yourself better in a safe environment.

What do we believe:

At times life can be difficult and it can feel hard to cope on your own. When this happens we can feel lots of different feelings - sad, scared, hopeless or angry. We believe that it's okay to ask for support at a time like this and that with some support you might be able to find your own answers.

At Off the Record we believe that you, not the counsellor, are the expert on yourself.  Counselling can support you in finding your own way forward, helping you to develop your potential and feel more able to deal with life's challenges.

Making the first call:
