Adolescent counselling & psychotherapy
Supporting Adolescents on Their Journey
Adolescence can be a profoundly challenging and transformative time, as young people navigate rapid growth and unique pressures on their path to adulthood. Drawing on my specialisation in child and adolescent psychotherapy, I provide a safe, confidential, and empathetic space where your adolescent's emotional security is paramount, allowing them to openly explore and work through the issues they are experiencing. Adopting an integrative approach, I compassionately encourage self-expression through art, creative means, or words, allowing for a natural and comfortable exploration of their inner world.
To ensure the most tailored and effective support, I always meet with parents/guardians for an initial intake session. This vital discussion allows me to gather comprehensive relevant information, ensuring the therapeutic journey is precisely aligned with your adolescent's needs. It is also an invaluable opportunity for you, as parents/guardians, to discuss your concerns in detail, gain clarity on the therapeutic process, and ask any questions on the specific techniques I use. While we establish this context together, the therapeutic relationship with your adolescent is built on a foundation of trust and confidentiality, fostering a space where they feel truly safe to explore their world.
Common issues I help adolescents navigate include:
​ Anxiety
​ Low Self-Esteem
​ Behavioural Difficulties
​ Depression, Low Mood
​ Identity Questions/Confusion
Bereavement & loss
​Neurodiversity, ADHD
Trauma / PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
​ Transition From Primary To Secondary School
​ Bullying
​ Parental Separation
​ Adoption & Fostering
