Here is what some young people have said about Sam @ COAP counselling:
‘I think to start with, just being able to feel that someone understands and won't judge and is out there and interested helps.’
‘I think that our sessions have helped me talk about things that I have not expressed to anyone. They have enabled me to think about things in a different way, and shown me that sometimes I can just be me, and that I don't always need to be strong.’
‘Thank you for all your help, and guidance. I am already feeling stronger about things, and I am more confident that I am actually coping with things.’
‘A lot of family and family friends have offered support, but I find it easier to talk to someone who doesn't know me or X at all so they can have a fresh look at it.’
