Email Counselling

Email Us

Your counsellor will ask some basic questions about you when you first email us, such as:

  • your first name
  • your age
  • whether you're a boy or girl
  • who you live with
  • your suburb and postcode

We ask for this information to keep you safe and to understand a bit about you - we won't share it with anyone.

Your counsellor will also ask some questions for you to think about and respond to. There are no right or wrong answers - just what feels right for you!

This process can take a while, so to speed things up, try writing answers to the questions below in your first email to Kids Helpline.

This might feel a bit different at first, but it can really help your counsellor to understand what's going on for you, a lot faster.

  • How would you describe what you are feeling?
  • When did you first start feeling this way, and have you ever felt like this before?
  • If you are feeling frightened or anxious, is this the worst you have ever felt?
  • Are some days better than others?
  • Who are the most important people in your life and how do you get on with them?
  • Does anyone know what is going on for you?
  • What else is going on in your life (the good and the not so good)?
