COUNSELLING
All Children and Young People (age 5-18) in East Ayrshire can access support for psychological wellbeing from The-Exchange Counselling Service.
Children and Young People in Secondary schools can either access the service by making a self referral online – https://www.exchange-counselling.com or by using the D-EXY App – https://www.d-exy.com. This service is also available for Home Educated Children and Young People or those not regularly attending school. Sessions can then either take place in school, online, over the phone or at the Exchange office in Kilmarnock.
Children in Primary schools can be referred to the service via their named person (usually a Headteacher or Depute Headteacher). The Exchange website and EAC school Counselling Blog also has lots of good resources and advice parents can use to support their child with Mental Health and Wellbeing.
