Adolescent Therapy

Service Description

Adolescence can be a challenging time of emotional, social and personal development. In modern society adolescents need to navigate additional stressors that come with social media. They may experience difficulties with anxiety, low mood, stress, anger, behavioural concerns, relationships, school pressures, ADHD or navigating changes in their identity and independence. I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where adolescents feel understood, openly explore their experiences and develop healthier ways of coping. When working with young people, I consider not only the individual but also the family, relationships and broader environment that may influence their well-being. My approach is collaborative and tailored to the needs of each adolescent. Through my experience in higher education, I have seen how an inability to cope in adolescence often affects wellbeing and coping in young adulthood (for example, when they enter university). I therefore work alongside each adolescent to help them grow in important life skills, like coping, while providing a warm and understanding space.
