Danny started counselling when he began to experience bullying during the transition to secondary school. He was experiencing anxiety attacks and his school work was suffering.

Danny has found his counselling helpful because he says it offers him small things that he remembers to do every day, which help to take the weight off his back. He says it’s good to have someone to talk to outside of family and school. He has learnt techniques that help him to stay calm and take the focus off what is worrying him.
