S.M.I.L.E. BUILDING BRIGHTER FUTURES
S.M.I.L.E Counselling first became constituted on 15th June 2015. Since then the Board of Trustees have worked tirelessly to get the organisation to where it is today. Now we are an official Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation and have begun delivering counselling sessions to local young people. We aim to be able to deliver a bespoke outreach counselling service to young people when they need it most. Our primary goal is to help young people get to a good place in their lives where they feel Supported, Motivated, Inspired, Leading to self-determination and Empowered to make their own positive choices.
OUR FOUNDER A MESSAGE FROM DECLAN
Hi there,
I’m Declan Harrigan, the Founder and CEO of S.M.I.L.E Counselling.
In my previous roles working with children and young people in West Lothian, I noticed a significant gap in accessible counselling services and unbearably long waiting times. Witnessing this urgent need, I established S.M.I.L.E in 2015 to provide affordable counselling for 11–24-year-olds.
I’m thrilled to announce that on 15th June, 2024, we celebrated our 9th anniversary.
In 2022, we were honoured with the title of Scottish Charity of the Year. To date, we’ve supported over 2000 individuals and facilitated group sessions for 3000 young people, totalling around 14,000 counselling hours!
A heartfelt ‘thank you’ goes out to our funders, clients, staff, and volunteers who have tirelessly contributed to our mission. Together, we are making a real difference.
Looking ahead, we aim to continue offering our affordable counselling services to as many young people as possible. This goal is even more critical now, in light of the ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19 and the cost of living crisis. We’re also excited about the expansion of our training division, which now includes a variety of mental wellbeing and counselling courses and continues to grow.
We’ve made several changes to reach more young people in every possible way, including developing our online presence to provide current and useful information 24/7, opening later in the evenings to enhance accessibility and providing more group work opportunities.
As always, our commitment remains to support and help you in any way we can. Together, we will overcome the challenges we face and work towards ‘Building a Brighter Future’ together.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Take care and keep smiling,
Declan Harrigan Founder/CEO
DECLAN HARRIGAN ND BSC (HONS) PGDIP
Declan began his career in corporate sales while studying Social Policy and Sociology at Magee, University of Ulster. After University and spending an additional 4 years training as a therapist he now has experience in supporting and counselling young people for over 10 years both in the North of Ireland and since 2012 in West Lothian, Scotland.
His experience in counselling began in the North of Ireland where he worked specifically with those people affected by self-harm or suicidal thoughts / ideation. However, in addition to this work he has also worked with issues such as bullying, sexual orientation, depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship issues, abuse or post Northern Ireland conflict prisoners affected by PTSD to name but a few.
Declan worked extensively on anti-sectarianism projects with the young people involved using various counselling approaches in groups to help change their negative thinking about each other and encourage them to look at the similarities instead of the very minimal differences.
He then moved to Scotland in 2012 where he took up the position as a project co-ordinator working with similar groups and co-ordinating a youth unemployment strategy while supporting these young people to address their barriers and re-engaging positively into their community again.
Declan is married and has a young son. He says that “my wife and son are the driving force behind the work that I do. I love my job and being a part of the S.M.I.L.E Team is more than just a job, it’s like a family. We are all passionate about delivering the best service we can for the children and young people of West Lothian and hope to be an integral part of the community work for many years to come”.
