Who are we?

Cambridge Lifeskills is a Not For Profit agency who offer counselling for children and young people between the ages of 5 to 15 in the Cambridge district.

Since the service began in 1992 there has been a steady increase in the need for such a service in the community.

Changes in society have meant many children are now exposed to an increasing range of issues, including bullying, abuse, and family issues among others. Children often do not have the skills to deal with these issues.

Lifeskills aims to offer counselling, support and encouragement so that children/young people are more able to work through these issues.

What do we offer?

Cambridge Lifeskills offer individual counselling to children and young people between the ages of 5 and 15 years of age in the Cambridge district. Trained counsellors use a variety of approaches when working with children, depending on the child’s situation. We also offer support to parents of clients; the first two sessions with a counsellor are free, adults are then asked to give a koha for each subsequent session. Cambridge Lifeskills also offers support to school communities affected by trauma.

Counselling for children and young people is free.

We are a mobile service working primarily at your child’s school (if in the Cambridge district), but can also provide counselling at your home or at our counselling room in Cambridge if needed.
