Mended Wings Adolescent Guidance and Counselling

Heal, Grow, and Be Resilient

Every adolescent has a story, and every story deserves to be heard.

We provide a safe, compassionate, evidence-informed counselling space where every adolescent feels heard, understood, and supported. Our approach nurtures emotional safety, healthy coping skills, and resilience. We also offer parental guidance to help parents understand their adolescent's needs, strengthen family connections, and support them through developmental challenges.

Where Would You Like to Begin?

To Adolescent

You do not have to manage distress alone; you deserve to be heard

You do not need to have perfect words; you can begin by sharing what feels difficult now

Counselling is a place to talk, without any judgement and at a pace that feels manageable

We maintain confidentiality and begin with obtaining your assent and consent from your parents

You will not be pressured to describe painful experiences before you are ready. You are welcome to ask what will happen, express discomfort, and participate in setting goals

To Parents

Understand consent and supportive involvement

Counselling is confidential, subject to safeguarding and legal exceptions. We will seek the child’s assent and obtain parental consent for adolescents under 18 years. Parents may participate without taking over the adolescents counselling space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mended Wings is a counselling service for children and adolescents from 10- 18 years; young adults from 18 -25 years; and their parents. We offer a safe, compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.

We support individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, academic pressure, relationship difficulties, emotional challenges, and the effects of difficult childhood experiences. We also provide parental guidance to strengthen understanding, communication, and connection within families.

We respect your privacy, and we keep information shared during counselling confidential. Confidentiality has limits, including serious safety concerns and situations requiring disclosure by law.

For adolescents, we explain privacy, parental involvement, and these limits before counselling begins.

You can expect compassionate listening, a respectful approach, and psychological support tailored to your needs. Together, we explore your concerns and work towards emotional understanding, healthy coping, stronger relationships, and resilience—at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Online counselling allows you to speak with your counsellor through a scheduled video session. You will need a suitable device, a reliable internet connection, and a quiet, private space. Before your first session, we'll explain how to connect and discuss whether online counselling suits your needs. For clients under 18, we generally require consent from a parent or guardian.
