of our profit in families, empowering them to meet their potential.
Family Support
Tailored to your needs
At R-evolution we pride ourselves in supporting people from a dignified and empowered place. We walk beside people while they ascertain where the changes need to happen and spend the time to walk with them while they choose the road that will help them get to their choice of destination. Our services are unique in that they not only involve working with parents but involve the family as a unit and will identify the growth needed for the children to thrive and meet their potential as well as the parents. Our Counselling and Coaching services are 1-2-1, confidential and not time bound.
We spend time getting to know you and will spend quality time being able to support you. We will work with you to help you identify the goals you want achieve and walk beside as you take each small step to where you want to be.
Who is counselling for?
Counselling is therapy to help you look at trauma from the past, an opportunity for you to talk about your worries which may include :
- your relationships
- your childhood feelings, emotions or thoughts
- your behaviour
- past and present life events
- situations you find difficult
Our counselling service is completely FREE for parents who are experiencing financial hardship. You will need to be referred to this service and it is only available to adults or young people over 16 years old.
How does it work?
Counselling provides a safe and confidential space for you to talk to a
trained professional about your issues and concerns. Your counsellor will help you explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours so you can
develop a better understanding of yourself and of others. A counsellor will not give you their opinions or advice or prescribe medication. They will help you find your own solutions – whether that’s making effective changes in your life or finding ways of coping with your problems. Your counsellor will be impartial but understanding. They will listen to you without judgment and will offer a safe space to explore life’s ups and downs. They may also offer information, but they won’t tell you what you should think or do.

What's the difference between Counselling and Coaching?
Who is coaching for?
Coaching is available to families experiencing poverty in Moray who want a practical support solution to make things different for their future. It is for families who are ready to make change, it’s a support vehicle to help you get to the destination you desire. It involves setting goals and planning your future and taking the small steps towards a new future. Many families told us they were ‘STUCK’ in their situation and want to be ‘UNSTUCK’, coaching can help you do that.
Our coaching service is completely FREE for families who are experiencing financial hardship. You will need to be referred to this service unless you have worked with Moray School Bank before. Your coach will work with you as a family to make positive change for the whole family.
How does it work?
Coaching is an opportunity for you to take action and set goals to make positive change to meet your potential. Your coach will work with you a using progression coaching model, looking forward to a new future and embracing the challenges along the way. Your coach will be impartial and understanding. They will listen to you without judgement and will offer a safe space to explore the barriers you face to moving forward. They may also offer information, but they won’t tell you what you should think or do. It’s a really supportive relationship but can be challenging! You can expect a warm welcome, the ethos of our coaching service is person centred, we are all human. We aim to be respectful, non-judgemental, open and genuine. During your first session your coach will listen to you and be open to answering your questions.
Should you choose to proceed they will work with you to vision a new future and walk beside you as you take each of the small steps in your new direction.

R-evolution
An invitation to Men – to take responsibility and actively make change with the support of grassroots weekly groupwork, coaching and counselling.
- Are any of your behaviour’s hurting and harming others?
- Are you frightening and hurting your partner and children?
- Are you frightening yourself?
- Feeling anxious, stressed, and worried about the consequences of your behaviours?
- You might be feeling ashamed and fearful of seeking
help?
A strengths and resilience based approach to reducing and eradicating harm to women, children and the self harming behaviors of men.
It is hard to reach out for help, it takes courage to pick up the phone, take that first step. It is not a sign of weakness – it is a sign of strength, there is strength in vulnerability! Men can self-refer, or can be referred by contacting us using the details below.
What happens next?
You will be offered a one to one with a RADAR Coach – an opportunity to share what has brought you to seek help, some initial paperwork to fill in, and for us to listen and identify what kind of help and support men may need.
One to one Coaching and Counselling
