Rookie Rockstars have worked with over 100,000 school pupils across Scotland. We have circa 450 students who come to us weekly for music lessons. Working with so many young people we came to realise that from time to time they can struggle through various situations. Through talking to parents it was evident there was a real lack of support available for struggling youngsters. Our aim is to improve the resilience, confidence and mental health of the young people we work with. We currently provide children and young person’s mental health counselling and support services in Kirkintilloch. We help young people to deal with a variety of issues including bullying, bereavement, domestic violence, neglect, loss, trauma, family breakups and many more issues.

Young Persons Counselling
We offer one-to-one counselling for young people between the ages of 11-18. This involves chatting to the young person and helping them to perhaps have a different outlook on certain things or giving them coping strategies. We also try to build a positive relationship with every young person who uses the service. As a neutral, i.e. not part of usual school or family life, we are able to offer a safe place for them to truly open up and get the help they so greatly need.
Counselling For Children
For ages 5-11 we offer play therapy. A child simply cannot express themselves in the way that an adult or even a teenager can. Through play a child can feel at ease, allowing them to express themselves and really open up about what’s going on in their lives. Drawing, playing with toys, wearing costumes or role playing, allows children to explore how they feel the way they do, in a very natural, everyday way. Play therapy can have wonderful results especially as the child gets more and more comfortable with their counsellor.
