A safe space to be
Headspace is a safe space for young people struggling to cope with life’s ups and downs, to be valued and heard.
Who we are
Headspace is a local charity situated in Bourton on the Water, dedicated to providing free counselling and therapeutic wellbeing support to young individuals aged 11-19 years old who are navigating mental health challenges.
While we provide comprehensive support through our counselling service and Wellbeing programme, we also work closely with other community services to ensure young people receive the tailored assistance they may require.
At Headspace, we're committed to facilitating the journey towards mental wellness for the young people in our community.
Counselling
Counselling offers a safe and secure environment where young individuals can openly express their worries and concerns without the fear of their personal information being shared with others. This confidentiality builds trust between the counsellor and the young person, allowing for honest and open communication.
Addressing issues such as anxiety, stress, self-harm, social anxiety, and other mental health concerns is crucial for supporting the overall well-being of young people.
Wellbeing Programme
Counselling isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, some young people may respond better to different forms of support.
Headspace runs a varied Wellbeing programme that promotes emotional wellbeing and is a fantastic complement to traditional counselling services.
The Wellbeing activities are offered within small groups and include Bushcraft, Breathwork, Craft, Gardening and Cooking.
These programmes can help young people develop lifelong coping skills, manage stress and anxiety, improve self-awareness and enhance overall emotional resilience.
Support us
We know we have a lot of work to do and that it will take a lot of resources. That's where you as part of our local community come in - as a local business or resident, if you can think of a way to support our work, either by volunteering your time or supporting us financially in some way (through regular contributions or a one-off fundraising drive), please let us know. We’d love to hear from you!
