This is a really nicely animated piece by James Lancett and Sean Weston, about a man trying to fit into normal society, despite a raincloud that's following him:

I could do something along the lines of this - the idea of a raincloud following a child around (representing depression or anxiety) then someone from ChildLine holding an umbrella over the child to shield them from the "depression".
The umbrella could come from the phone or the child's own head/mind, rather then an actual person, because the counsellors often don't meet the children; just make them feel better and offer solutions.
Idea written out:
"Child shown in a number of different situations with the raincloud over him (could walk past parents arguing on his way to school, or bullies shouting names at him in the background, anxiety for exams?), and looking sad whilst others are playing happily in the background - cuts to a shot of him looking at a phone, goes to ring ChildLine - then the umbrella appears (or rain stops) [sun setting in the background to show passing of time?] and the child smiles hanging up the phone, camera fades out into the ChildLine logo and contact details with credits."
It could start out as a grey cloud, getting bigger and darker as the problems grow in his mind (raining towards the end) then disappearing or at least getting smaller when he's on the phone.
The final shot could be filming the back of the child sat on a bench with the cloud in shot, and text fading in and out explaining briefly that ChildLine can help, and the longer the conversation goes on, the smaller the cloud gets.
There are a few different solutions I could use, so I will review them all and see which works best.
