What to expect from youth counselling?

We support young people through counselling, mentoring, coaching and practical support. When we support young people, we tailor our therapy with evidence-based practice methods to ensure young people are met where they are in their individual development. We support young people to navigate and learn about their emotions, relationships and internal processes. Developing a therapeutic alliance through continuity of care and reflective practice is a priority when providing support.

Counsellor Kerimé Abay has 6 years experience working with young people in both government and non-government organisations in Australia. She specialised in working with young people in contact with the justice and social welfare systems who required complex therapeutic intervention. And as a generalised family counsellor she is experienced with working collaboratively with young people and their families.

How can you support your young person to seek help?

Here a some things you can do to support a young person to seek help for their mental health:

Open and Non-Judgmental Communication

Supporting Your Child During Counselling or Therapy

We believe that no two people see life through the same lens. Our individual experiences are the shades that colour our humanity and inform the inner workings of our minds.

That’s why at Hue, we honour each individual’s unique values, beliefs and experiences to create a compassionate space where a person’s internal processes are seen, heard, and acknowledged.
