KYDS Youth Development Service

KYDS is a free counselling service for 12 to 18 year olds, and their families, living in Northern Sydney. Our doors are open to everyone, with no issue being too big or too small.

Our highly qualified counsellors and psychologists work with young people to help them manage issues such as grief, loss, anger, drugs, alcohol, self esteem and body image concerns, study and exam stress, anxiety, depression, self harm and suicidal thoughts.

We focus on long term management of issues, and we are not a crisis service: If you urgently require help, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800 (these are 24 hour services).

KYDS also runs early intervention workshops, information forums and group support programs in school and community settings.

To make contact with a KYDS counsellor, call 02 9416 0900, 10am - 6pm Mon- Fri.
