Eadrict’s
Story
Eadrict came into the service being referred by his job coach in Leiston. Eadrict was attending college doing a music course that he was passionate about. However, he faced a number of obstacles that meant ultimately he took the decision to drop out of college and work full time. With a strong desire to be independent, he sought our help in finding employment to support himself and achieve his goals.
Like many young people, Eadrict faced several barriers to employment. Travelling to and from the college was very expensive and he stuggled to balance his part-time job and his studies . Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic further complicated this situation by leaving him unemployed when his workplace closed down. However, Eadrict remained determined to find a job and work towards his long-term goals.
Our team at YES. recognized Eadrict’s drive. We worked with him to develop a professional CV and enhance his interview skills. He and his work coach, Simon, would often talk aboutmusic (a passion Simon shares!) and his love for sea fishing. By understanding his personality and interests, we were able to guide Eadrict towards opportunities that suited his skills and passions.
With our support, Eadrict secured a domestic cleaning role at the Sizewell Nuclear Plant. The job allowed him to earn a steady income while pursuing his interests . Eadrict was thrilled to start his new role and was eager to prove himself as a valuable employee. Through his determination and hard work, as well as the support of his YES coach, Eudrict now can now start his journey int he workplace.
Eadrict’s story is a testament to the importance of reaching out for help when you need it. With the right guidance and support, young people like Eadrict can overcome their barriers and achieve their goals. At the Youth Employment Service, we are committed to helping young people find meaningful employment and supporting them in their journey towards independence and success.
Thrive
Our Personal Development Service
Suffolk Skills and Employment Service for young people 16-24.
Thrive is powered by Inspire and gives young people access to a huge range of resources to take their future into their own hands.
Thrive sees us working with young people to build their confidence in a way that is tailored to support them.
Whether it’s employment, education or training, support is offered in the form of one-to-one coaching over a 10-week period, though this can be flexible depending on the person’s needs.
The focus is all based around the young person, finding out what they need to be able to confidently make their next move. Research is our biggest friend, and we focus on relevant hobbies and interests to ensure that the final outcome is the best one.
For those looking to find a job, we offer help with writing CVs, mock interviews and how to job search. We can even go as far as helping with interview clothes if that is a service required.
If education or training is more of the desire, then we work alongside different Suffolk colleges and education programmes to find the right solution, and move them on to a progression coach.
The Thrive service covers everything from supporting with attending college open days and filling in forms, to referring to a course. It also covers travel training for those who are anxious about the best way to get to their destination.
Am I eligible for free Thrive support?
Thrive works with young people aged 16-24.
To access Thrive’s service – you must not be in Employment, Education or Training (NEET).

-
Are there dedicated sessions for specific groups of young people?
Our free-to-access drop-in sessions are open to all young people aged 11+ (school year 7 upwards). While we do everything that we can to make these as accessible as possible, we are aware that these sessions may not be suitable for some young people.
Neurodiverse Accessible
Our dedicated session for neurodivergent young people will be returning this autumn. These sessions aim to create a secure and calm environment which includes many of the elements young people enjoy at our drop-in sessions, but with a clear and consistent routine. This enables those susceptible to sensory overload, or who need a more structured and predictable environment to engage in activities at the youth centre.

Sessions will start in October and run through until December. Participants must be booked in advance and commit to attending most of the sessions.The sessions are for young people aged 11-18, and we believe that they will be most suitable for those who would benefit from a quiet environment and who are currently able to engage in mainstream education. We are aiming to bring together a small group of young people (maximum 8) who we hope will get along well together, and we invite you to book a meet-and-greet session to find out more.
To take part use the following link to book a meet-and-greet session at Hadleigh Youth Centre, for the young person and their parent / guardian.

-
About our Service
When you’re worried, anxious or down, it can feel like the hardest time to reach out and ask for help.
There are many reasons why people decide to go to counselling. Perhaps you’ve been affected by loss, shock or trauma; you’re struggling to connect with others, or you have a sense that something just isn’t right. Whatever the reason, talking regularly in a confidential setting with a qualified counsellor might be of value to you.
We believe that everyone is unique, and their expectations of counselling are all different. You are your own expert, and no one person has the same needs. In our sessions, Sharon uses a blended approach to tailor the therapy to your individual experiences.
Counselling is all about understanding your story, to accept your story, to be able to respect your story. Once this has been achieved, clients often learn to recognise their triggers and develop coping strategies, so they no longer feel overwhelmed or consumed by their feelings or emotions.
-
Can a Counsellor make a diagnosis?
The Counsellors are not able to make a diagnosis.
-
Can a Counsellor prescribe medication if I need it?
The counsellors are not able to prescribe medication.
-
Can I bring someone to counselling with me?
Unfortunately, you cannot bring someone into the counselling room with you as it is a confidential service.
If someone has transported you to a face-to-face appointment and wishes to wait, we offer free parking on-site.
-
Can I contact my counsellor between sessions?
As we are not an emergency or crisis service, your counsellor will not be available to you between sessions. If you need an emergency service, such as an ambulance, please dial 999.
If you need urgent medical advice, you can call the NHS on 111 or talk to Samaritans anytime on 116 123.
-
Can I have counselling online or face-to-face?
We offer counselling both online and face-to-face, depending on how you feel most comfortable.
Our face-to-face counselling is currently only available at our consultation room in Ipswich.
-
Can I have more than one session a week?
Yes. If you require more than one session a week, Counsellors may be able to accommodate this, with a review as things start to improve for you. The frequency of appointments will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and are dependent on counsellor availability.
-
Can I speak to a Counsellor before my appointment?
Counsellors are in sessions with clients during the day and are unable to speak without an appointment. However, our advisors would be happy to give you more information about the service via phone, text or email.
If you think counselling is right for you, the first session provides an opportunity to ask any questions, find out more about the counselling process, and discover if you feel a connection with your counsellor.
-
Does my GP need to refer me for an appointment?
No. You are free to contact us yourself if you wish to try counselling.
-
How do I get an appointment?
Please book an initial assessment here, or contact wellbeing@inspiresuffolk.org.uk or call/text 07720 087487.
Once we’ve heard from you, we’ll complete an initial assessment to find out more about what you hope to achieve from your sessions. Anyone aged between 10-16 must have a parent/guardian present for the initial assessment. After this, we will book a consultation appointment for you with our counsellor. We aim to offer you an available appointment slot within 7 weeks of your first call, text or email.
-
How do I know if I need counselling?
Only you can decide whether you wish to try counselling. For many people, talking to someone confidentially who is not a friend or family member can make all the difference.
Counselling provides a regular time for you to explore your feelings and talk about any problems you’re experiencing. A counsellor can help you develop better ways of coping, allowing you to move forward and get the most out of life.
-
How do I know the Counsellors are qualified?
By choosing a Counsellor registered with a professional body for example BACP or UKCP you can be reassured that they have met the rigorous standards of training and experience they require.
All of our counsellors follow the BACP ethical framework and undergo regular supervision. Being registered or accredited with BACP/UKCP means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience.
When you chose a counsellor who meets professional standards, you can have confidence that your therapist has studied, meets recognised standards, and participates in ongoing professional development.
-
How do I start counselling?
To start your counselling you can email us, phone us, or text us to book your initial assessment at a day and time that suits you.
-
How long does each counselling session last?
Each session will usually last 30 minutes.
-
How long will it take to be seen?
Typically, we offer weekly counselling sessions within 6-8 weeks of your initial assessment. We aim to keep our wait time to a minimum so you can start receiving support as soon as possible.
-
How much does counselling cost?
Our counselling is free for up to 12 sessions. In exceptional circumstances, this can either be extended, or may be referred on to other organisations for further support.
-
I need to change my time slot for next week, is this possible?
Once you have agreed to a mutually convenient slot with your Counsellor, you will be allocated the same day and time on an ongoing basis. In the case of an emergency, where you’re unable to attend your slot, your Counsellor may be able to provide you with an alternative appointment, subject to availability.
-
I only want one session – will the Counsellor be able to help?
The first session you have with your Counsellor will be a consultation appointment. This allows you to identify your issues as you see them, and for your Counsellor to start to gain an idea of what your needs are.
Unfortunately, having just one session is unlikely to have any lasting benefit. However, you are welcome to use this session to decide whether your counsellor is right for you.
-
What can I talk about during my sessions?
You can talk about anything that is on your mind.
Counselling is a safe space where you can bring up anything you’d like to discuss.
-
What do I do if I have a complaint about the service or the counsellor?
We always welcome comments about the service we offer. If you do have a complaint you would like to discuss, we recommend telling your counsellor first to see if they are able to resolve any issues. If the complaint is about your counsellor, please see our complaints procedure here for more information on how to submit a complaint.
-
What happens if I want to end my sessions?
Regardless of how long you have been attending counselling, it is helpful to let your counsellor know that you are thinking of bringing your sessions to an end. This gives your counsellor the chance to explore this with you and will allow you to work towards a planned ending together.
-
What kinds of concerns can counselling help me with?
Our wellbeing service has worked with young people facing all kinds of challenges, including:
stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship issues, anger, abuse, low self-esteem, bereavement, bullying, terminal illness, child-related issues, domestic violence, low self-confidence, OCD, post-traumatic stress disorder, post-natal depression, attachment disorders, gender dysphoria, phobias, acquired brain injury and many more.
