Junior Athlete Counselling

Junior Counselling Support

I offer support to young people aged 11 - 17 years of age based in the UK. Please be aware that I do not work with anyone who is under the age of 11 years old. If you are between the age of 11-17 years old you must seek the permission of your parent or guardian. If you do not feel you can speak to your parent or guardian please speak to your Head of Year, School Nurse or Form Tutor at your school.

If you do not feel comfortable contacting any of the people mentioned above Kooth is an excellent service that you can help:

For urgent support if you are really struggling:

A Bit about me

My name is Chris Brennan I've been a qualified counsellor for just over 12 years now. I decided to set this service up after hearing lots of different athletes talking about struggles they have been through or currently going through. I have worked with hundreds of different young people over the years. My background is mostly providing support for students in education (High School, Sixth Form College, University) I work with ages 11 right through to 65+. I have a Masters in Counselling Psychology (Keele University 2013) and I have been an Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy since 2017,

How to access the service

The best way to access the service is to email me: info@counsellingforathletes.com I will then arrange a call with you to discuss how best to support you, remember you will need your parents or guardian's permission before you access this service. This call is free of charge and if I do not feel I can help you I will help to signpost you to who can.

This is a service for young athletes all over the country I tend to offer telephone or video counselling. But there is the option for face to face options in Wrexham and Cheshire please feel free to enquire about this.

Please Note: As I work full time the only times I offer counselling is weekday evenings Monday-Thursday and Saturday mornings/early afternoons.

If under 18 you must seek parental or guardian permission before accessing the service.
