Feedback from Young People and Parents

Do not be afraid to ask for help. The more you speak about it, the easier it becomes. Sometimes you don’t get over things but learn to cope with them.

Female, age 15

My first session was good because she was nice and I could talk to her. I’ve had 6 sessions and have enjoyed talking to her because it has helped me to understand my emotions better. I don’t run out of class now or have meltdowns in school.

Male, age 12

I had good vibes from my bibliotherapist as soon as I met her, she is calm and made me feel comfortable. She instantly made me feel better.

Age 17

If you ever felt you needed support my counsellor will always help come up with solutions. She always listens to me and reminds me how far I have come.

Female, age 16

I feel like a different person when I’m writing, I feel like me. The sessions feel very anchoring, which I find helpful.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the past few months — you have really helped me understand I do have people there to speak to and people who will listen and care.

I found the sessions helpful and they helped me with things like school and how to deal with the stress of school and exams.

Today was my last session with my counsellor. Being with her I think has helped massively.

Thank you for starting this site. It has (and you have) honestly changed my life.

He is definitely doing much better, and he showed me the letters he was writing to his fear.

Thank you for extending J’s sessions. She has been finding them so useful.

I feel it helps me actually read because I don’t read. I feel better after it as it calms me down.

Female, aged 14

I’ve always tried to write a book with pen and paper but it’s not turned out great. It means a lot to me. Kids are intelligent and this can make their dreams come true.

Male, aged 13

I think people of all ages will like this service. It would be useful to lots of people.

Male, aged 13

Thank you for all the creative writing. It is helping me so much. I am now downloading some books to read too.

Female, aged 14

So! I have a counsellor who is very nice and told me to use this website as a good idea!

Female, aged 12

I think this will appeal to people, especially males who might find it easier to put down their feeling and aspirations in the 3rd person.

Male, aged 16

Thinking more about the authors I love to be able to watch videos or podcasts with them, talking more about their lived experience in relation to the story.

Female, aged 15

The platform is brilliant, so easy to navigate on my phone.

Male, aged 14

Today was my last session with my counsellor, being with her I think has helped massively.

Female, aged 12

The books are great. Some are small (quick reads) which is brilliant for me.

Male, aged 14

The books look great, I’ve already found one I want to read.

Female, aged 15

I decided to write a journal because of all the events that happened.

Female, aged 15

I like how all the characters help each other out. My favourite character is the dog because he can be stupid. I feel I’m most like the adventurous character in the book.

Female, aged 12

I think ZunTold should link with our drama group so we can recreate scenes from some of the books.

Female, aged 14

I wrote a poem and I shared it with my counsellor!

Male, aged 12

I have felt slightly better about myself than when I started as I have never felt good about myself. Enjoyable sessions and beneficial.

Male, aged 17

The sessions have really helped me, and I have come a long way. I feel calmer and can think differently.

Female, aged 15

Today’s session was really good and I’m feeling a lot better now for talking about the things we have in today’s session.

Male, aged 15

I felt relieved to share what I did today, I don’t share things much with people. I know that it isn’t the person making her angry, it is how I am reacting. Today’s session was good.

Female, aged 15

I also wanted to add that we have only done two sessions so far, and already it feels a lot better.
