Thanks to additional funding from Newport City Council, TalkingZone has expanded its service to include Parental Consultations, and free counselling for parents, legal guardians or carers. Contact us for further information.
TalkingZone counselling service is for young people attending Secondary Schools in Newport. TalkingZone provides your school with a counsellor who works with any pupil wishing to talk about their personal problems.
Counselling is private and confidential. That means anything you tell the counsellor stays between you and the counsellor unless you say something that means you are being seriously harmed, or at risk of serious harm. The counsellor will tell you more about this before you start.
TalkingZone Online is an additional place which is safe and private where young people aged between 11-17 years can talk to a counsellor via text chat or webcam.
The TalkingZone Online website also provides self help information and videos which are available 24hrs a day 7 days a week.
