The Kooth team are here to provide free, safe and anonymous online support and counselling. The whole team are made up of friendly and experienced individuals who want to help you.
Kooth is a free, safe and anonymous online wellbeing service for children and young people. Young people using the site are able to access a range of support services including one-to-one counselling sessions, discussing issues with their peers through online
discussion boards, reading and contributing to self-help content and recording their feelings via journals and goal trackers. The online nature of Kooth means that young people can access help in a way that is most suitable for them, at a time that is convenient for them, 365 days of the year.
When can children and young people talk to someone? The Kooth team are available to chat 7 days a week, 365* days of the year. Kooth users can access the magazine, discussion boards and any other online content whenever they like, from wherever they are. Our friendly online team are available to chat during the following times:
From 12 noon until 10pm weekdays.
From 6pm until 10pm weekends.
How long a child or young person will have to wait in the chat queue depends on how busy the site is so we kindly ask for service users to be patient with us! Children and young people can send a message to the team at any time and it will be responded to during service working hours. Our counsellors are employed by us and are fully qualified with the BACP or equivalent.
*We offer a reduced service on bank holidays.
