OUR SERVICES
Mental Health & Wellbeing
Mental health affects everyone. You need to look after it like you’d look after your physical health. At No Limits, we can help you in a number of ways, whether you want to drop in and speak to a youth worker when you need, book counselling, join one of our groups detailed below, see us out-of-hours, or help yourself. No problem is too small or big for you to talk to us about it.
Our youth workers and counsellors are trained, friendly and willl never judge you or your problems. They are there to listen, give advice and support you with anything you’re facing.
