Youth Talk provide free counselling to 13-25yr olds to support our local young people.

Youth Talk’s mission is to provide the best, possible mental health support to young people in St Albans and the surrounding areas. The Charity, unique in the UK, offering free, confidential, face to face counselling for 13-25 year olds in the St Albans District, for upto a whole year if required. No other service provides that level of support.


How Your Support Helps

Youth Talk is currently supports over 120 every week, and at any time can have 70-100 on the waiting list, with numbers constantly growing.  Local young people have never needed our support more.

How can you help? By taking part in an event for us, you and your fundraisers could make a real difference to the lives of the young people we support.  

£10 pays for an hour of the Youth Talk team to be on the phone to take that call from a young person in need.
£25 helps pay for resources to share with local schools.
£50 pays for a counselling session for a young person in need, from one of our 15 highly qualified counsellors.

It's important for there to be a safe, trustworthy, calm and professional environment for young people to feel comfortable in and share whatever is on their mind, Youth Talk can offer this.

Thanks to your support, Youth Talk can continue to provide local young people with one-to-one counselling support during a real time of need, supporting young people to find courage, hope, happiness and purpose in life.
