Real Connection. Real Play. Real Progress.
At Your Side Quest, we use gaming as a gateway, not just to fun, but to meaningful connection, emotional growth, and real-world skills.
No pressure to talk. No scripts. No fixing.
Just side-by-side play with a trained support worker who gets it.
What We Offer
1:1 Online Gaming Support Sessions designed to:
- Build trust and confidence
- Strengthen communication and emotional regulation

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, social overwhelm, or just feeling out of place, we're here, controller in hand, ready to meet you where you are.
You play. We support. Together, we grow.
Who We Are (and Aren’t)
We ARE...
- Trained support workers
- Trauma-informed and neurodivergent-aware
- Consistent, safe, and supportive companions
- Curious, compassionate, and game-savvy
We AREN’T...
- Registered therapists
- A replacement for counselling or diagnosis
- Behavioural enforcers or compliance coaches
- Judgmental or “fix-it” minded
Games We Use
We play with purpose, choosing games that suit your goals, interests, and comfort zone. Some of our most popular titles:
- Minecraft – creative, calm, and perfect for social play
- Roblox – versatile and playful with lots of co-op options
- Fortnite – action-packed, great for teamwork and resilience
- Sackboy / Hot Wheels – fun, light-hearted co-op experiences
- 18+ Games – available only for adults (strict age checks in place)
We always adapt gameplay to meet your pace and needs. No surprises, no pressure.
Who It’s For
We support:
- Young people (8+) navigating friendships, school stress, or life transitions
- Neurodivergent individuals seeking connection without masking or social scripts
- Adults managing burnout, anxiety, or who just need a non-clinical space to decompress
- Ex-military clients adjusting to civilian life, loneliness, or identity changes
- Parents/carers looking for meaningful support for their child that actually works
No diagnosis needed. No labels required. Just curiosity, honesty, and a desire for support.
What a Session Looks Like
A typical 45–60 minute session includes:
- Logging in with your regular support worker
- Co-playing in a chosen game
- Light structure, reflection, and skill-building woven into play
- No forced talking, just natural conversation (or quiet comfort)
At the end, we do a mini check-in: what felt good, what was tricky, and what you want next time.
Behind the Scenes
- Regular 6–12 week reviews to track progress
- Optional parent/carer updates (only with consent)
- Referral support if therapy is needed later
- Professional supervision to keep our work safe and high-quality
We keep things consistent, clear, and emotionally safe, always working within our role as support workers, not therapists.
