About us

YOUTH TALK provides free, confidential counselling to 13-25 year olds in the St Alban’s area.

We’re determined that every young person has a safe place to talk in confidence, whatever’s on their mind.

It can be hard enough for young people growing up in today’s world without the additional challenges that life can bring. From family problems to exam stress and peer pressure, body image anxiety to social media bullying, trying to get through life can be completely overwhelming. It can feel impossible to cope, and some young people can’t.

We are proud of our strong reputation. For over 20 years, we have offered young people a dedicated service. Whatever a young person is going through we take time to understand and respond. They don’t need anyone’s permission to talk to us, and every conversation is kept private. Because there are no referrals or layers of assessments to get through, we can start supporting young people quickly to stop things getting worse.
