About

WHAT IS AREA 43

we believe that young people have the power to change communities

They should always have somewhere to turn to and someone to talk to, regardless of location or circumstances.

We specialise in young people’s support, in both formal and informal settings. Working with counsellors of the highest quality, Area 43 provides young people’s counselling in four counties: Ceredigion, Powys, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. We adapt to young people’s wants and needs, and recognise that our counselling sessions need to be flexible, meaning that young people can see our counsellors in community settings, schools, or at some of our safe spaces, at a time that suits them.

The other string to our bow is our Early Support Hubs. Area 43 is committed to ensuring a network of safe spaces across Ceredigion, and empowering young voices to emphasise their importance across the UK.

Young people know that they can come to us, not just when in crisis, but before they are in crisis, knowing that they will be heard, listened to and supported to make changes.

Area 43 Strategy

Amplifying youth voice and advocating their right to access high-quality support.

Young people are the experts in their own mental health, and deserve to not only be listened to, but to be given the platform to raise their voices. Area 43 believes in young people’s abilities and ambitions and empowers them to make real change.  Area 43 is youth-led from the outset, and we are determined to guide others to be youth-led too.
