We understand that it can be difficult to trust someone and tell them about what is happening or how you are feeling.
ChildLine counsellors are trained staff and volunteers who all have experience of listening and talking to children and young people.
A ChildLine counsellor is someone who:
- will listen to you and knows it takes courage to contact us
- is aware of the sorts of problems you might be worried about
- won't judge you or put you down
- is not easily shocked
- is supported by a ChildLine Supervisor
- you can trust.
Counsellors are also human beings with different jobs, families and friends. They may be gay, heterosexual, bisexual, of any ethnicity or religion, have a disability or long term illness. They have all been children and had different experiences of childhood but they will never assume things about your situation or how you may be feeling. The focus will always be you and because of this, counsellors do not talk about themselves or answer personal questions. They are real people who care and want to be there for you.
