Overview
Childline, operated by the NSPCC, provides free and confidential counselling, advice, and emotional support for children and young people. Available 24 hours a day via phone, online chat, or message boards, the service offers a safe space to talk about anything—bullying, abuse, family problems, school stress, self-harm, or mental health concerns.

Trained counsellors listen without judgement, helping young people feel heard and supported. Childline also offers a wide range of self-help tools, videos, and interactive resources to help children manage emotions and build resilience.
