Trusted Counselling Services for Children and Families
You and Me Counselling was founded in 2011 following the personal experiences of our founder, who identified a critical gap in support for families facing youth behavioural challenges. Based in Hornchurch, Essex, we specialise in providing counselling and psychotherapy services for children, young people, adults, and families across Havering, Barking & Dagenham, Redbridge, and Waltham Forest. Our team comprises counsellors trained in person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and integrative approaches, all accredited by the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) or the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). We deliver services through school-based interventions, group therapy sessions, and parental empowerment classes, with a focus on early intervention for at-risk youth.Our therapists hold Enhanced DBS certifications and participate in ongoing professional development to maintain the highest standards of care. We also offer placement opportunities for trainee counsellors, ensuring they meet rigorous practice requirements before working with clients. Our impact reports demonstrate measurable improvements in family relationships, educational attainment, and reduced offending behaviour among young clients. We provide free initial consultations to help clients determine if our services align with their needs, operating from dedicated counselling rooms in North Street, Hornchurch.

Services
Counselling Psychology
We provide individual counselling for psychological issues including depression, anxiety, self-harm, and relationship breakdowns. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches tailored to each client's needs. Sessions help clients develop coping strategies and improve emotional wellbeing through structured therapeutic interventions.
Group Therapy Sessions
Specialist group programmes address anger management, self-esteem, and self-harm for 12-16 year olds. Sessions run for 6-12 weeks with 6-8 participants, combining education and practical skills to improve emotional regulation and social functioning through peer interaction and guided activities.
School Staff Training
Three-hour interactive training sessions help school staff identify early warning signs of behavioural issues. We provide practical strategies for classroom management and early intervention techniques to prevent exclusions, delivered by experienced educational psychologists and counsellors.
Parental Empowerment Classes
Six-week evening courses teach parenting strategies for managing challenging behaviour. Topics include child development, relationship building, and early intervention techniques. Classes promote positive family dynamics through interactive learning and peer support networks.
CBT Interventions
Specialist cognitive behavioural therapy programmes address negative thought patterns in children and adults. Our structured approach helps clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, with measurable outcomes tracked through our impact monitoring system.
