YGOS Counselling Sessions
YGOS' counselling services provide support to children, youths, and families who may experience distress in parent-child relationships, including those who may be coping with mental, emotional, and behavioural challenges.
Our team of diverse and experienced counsellors, social workers, and youth workers are equipped to journey with you through this process.
We conduct single-session counselling using a wide range of approaches.
What is Single-Session counselling?
Single-session counselling is client-focused, where the client and counsellor work together, on a specific issue, with the understanding that they may only have one session of counselling.
​​
It enables you to dictate your counselling journey:
​
-
You may choose to discontinue/terminate if you are happy with the single-session counselling and/or do not feel the need for more sessions.
-
You may choose to proceed with another single session of counselling.
-
You may choose to switch to ongoing counselling support.
​
It is rooted in the hope that everyone has the ability to make immediate changes.
A focused and strength-based approach in a single session can enable clients to walk away with the following:
-
Feeling “unstuck”
-
Have actionable first steps to deal with the issue they are facing
-
Reframe the issue they are struggling with
-
Help them to think differently
-
Do something different
