Teens Counselling

Experience confidential and non-judgmental teens counselling in a safe and supportive environment

As a teenager, we understand that life can be exciting, but also challenging. You may feel overwhelmed by stress and uncertainty while transitioning from childhood to adulthood. If you’re going through a tough time, we’re here to help and support you in a safe and judgment-free space.

Teens counselling can be a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery. We can help you explore and address any issues affecting your well-being, from anxiety and depression to relationship challenges and lack of motivation. We’ll work together to develop coping strategies to help you overcome the challenges you are facing.

What you can expect from counselling:

What happens during a counselling session?

During our first session, we meet together with parents/guardians and have a general chat to get to know each other and find out a bit about yourself and what brings you to counselling session. 

I usually recommend 6 sessions to give therapy a chance to take effect and after 6 sessions we review and see how you are getting on.

Each session will be different and depends largely on what you want to bring to the session. The end goal is to help you resolve any issues that concern you.

This is achieved by providing you with a safe and confidential space to talk through things and by giving you the tools that will help you cope and feel better.

Parents/Guardians

As parents/guardians, you might sometimes wonder if your child would benefit from our teens counselling. That’s completely normal, as you want the best for your child.

You may have noticed some behavioural changes and are now wondering if there is something that can be done to help your child with some difficulties they are facing.

First of all, all teenagers have emotional ups and downs as they grow from childhood into adulthood. This is partly hormonal and partly trying to figure out their place in society. Some moodiness, social difficulties, and dips in academic performance are all normal bumps on the road to adulthood.

Normal developmental challenges will sometimes pose difficulties for your child and will require him/her to learn new skills and new perspectives.

Most of the challenges can be overcome by being supportive, listening to your teen and ensuring they know that you accept them as they are. Often parents want to “fix” whatever the problem may be, and that’s understandable. However, phrases such as “I know things can be tough, I’m here if you need me” or “I see this is really tough for you”, validate how your child feels and will make them feel heard.

However, there are times when professional help is needed.  Contact us and we can have a chat to see if we can be of help.
