WHY BRIGHTER HORIZONS 4U MATTERS

We believe that children today  often need support tackling issues such as bullying, self esteem, worries about stats, parental break-up as well as issues such as physical, mental and sexual abuse, eating disorders and other mental health issues.

At Brighter Horizons 4U we believe that everyone deserves the right to be listened to in a safe and non-judgmental environment. We treat all clients with respect and equality. We endeavour to facilitate the mental well being of our clients and to encourage them to grow and reach their full potential.

People may have limited access to counselling due to lack of awareness or financial restrictions. By this services being provided through a school setting can remove these restrictions allowing children and parents to access emotional support.

Working with parents

BH4U offers a confidential setting where children will have the opportunity to explore how they are feeling through the use of many different tools and strategies. However, at BH4U we also understand parents may want to meet with a member of the organisation before counselling begins.

Initially parents are invited to meet with a member of the team to discuss the various counselling models and strategies which are used within the sessions.

Supporting schools

Schools offer pupils an an educational opportunity for personal development.

A counselling service will complement and support the aims set out within the National Curriculum Guidelines. As OFSTED have stated a good school is judged on the support available to students who are experiencing problems – not the lack of problems within schools.

Supporting children & families

We are a dedicated team who feel very passionate about helping others. We are impartial and we are here to support the whole family. We will offer advice and support to parents whilst giving their children the space and time to explore their issues.

We are here to help them explore their options focusing on changes they may feel need to be made which will help reduce any confusion they may be feeling. We believe by helping children and young people examine in details their behaviour or situation can help initiate change. This will arm children with life skills for when they are faced with future difficulties.
