Referral Form

Use this service to submit your interest in receiving short-term counselling or mentoring from YPI Counselling. This service is primarily available to young people within the Basingstoke and Deane area.

YPI Counselling is not a Crisis service and a waiting list system is in place. We see all clients in order by the date of when a referral is received.

We offer short-term counselling which may not be safe or effective if you have a severe mental health condition such as PTSD, an eating disorder, or personality disorder. We recommend talking to your GP about a referral to CAMHS or mental health services.


If you need urgent help or support in a crisis

If you need more immediate support please consider the following:

  • Request an urgent appointment with your GP
  • Attend your local A&E department
  • Call NHS 111 or 999
  • Text SHOUT to 85258
  • (Under 18's) Contact Child Line on 0800 111
  • (Over 18's) Contact the Samaritans on 116 123
  • Online chat: www.kooth.com
  • Self-help: www.youngminds.org

Unfortunately YPI Counselling cannot work with people under the age of 18 who are adopted but can work with people who are over the age of 18 who are adopted, but not around themes or issues around adoption. This is due to legal reasons where YPI Counselling is not a registered adoption support agency.
