Teen Pregnancy Counselling

Connnexions: Phoenix

Connexions is for you if you are 13-19, living in England and wanting advice on getting to where you want to be in life. It also provides support up to the age of 25for young people who have learning difficulties or disabilities (or both).

Connexions is a modern public service and young people are actively involved in its design and delivery.

The service is managed locally by your Local Connexions Service which brings together all the key youth support services.


Who is Phoenix for?
Our client group is young women who are pregnant, who have had or are thinking of having an abortion, as well as young mums. The experienced counsellor can also see young women who are likely to or who want to become pregnant, as well as partners of any of these young women.

What can counselling offer me?
Counsellors are professionally trained to offer clients support and empathy with whatever difficult issues and feelings they may be experiencing. Your counsellor will work to build an open, non-judgemental and understanding relationship with you to help you to feel able to talk about whatever is troubling you.
Counselling can help you explore your emotions, thoughts and behaviour, and this process and the acceptance offered by the counsellor, can help you to find solutions to your problems as well as improve your self-esteem

What about confidentiality?
What is said between a client and counsellor is confidential. However, if something said by a client suggests that serious harm may occur to her or him or to someone else, confidentiality may be breached. Your counsellor would, if possible, discuss this with you beforehand.
