Adolescent couselling

Parents often express their frustration about their teen’s reluctance to engage with support. We try and make this as manageable as possible by facilitating both in-clinic and online sessions.

Clinic sessions involve an approach that is comfortable and age-appropriate for adolescents. For example, the therapist may use talking therapy, art therapy or sand tray therapy. For teens who aren’t ready for face-to-face therapy, or who are unable to leave the home, we offer teletherapy. This can involve video, phone or online chat sessions.

Adolescent therapy can help teens with:

• identity issues
• difficulties managing anxiety and/or anger
• challenging and/or risk-taking behaviours
• friendship issues and/or bullying
• depression and other mood disorders
• family breakdown and conflict
• parent and adolescent relationship challenges
• grief and loss
• learning difficulties
• exam and study stress
• school challenges
• self-harming thoughts or actions, or
• self-esteem and confidence issues.
