The journey from childhood to adulthood can be a minefield
If you have found this page, you are a parent concerned for your teenager and are looking for support or you are a teenager who recognises they are facing some difficulties and need help.
Therapy through the teenage years can facilitate the exploration of challenging feelings and behaviours within a safe and confidential therapeutic relationship. I offer talk therapy via video call on Zoom, as well as instant messaging therapy and audio-only therapy. The different ways teens can access therapy are available to help them feel more at ease.
I have successfully helped teens and young people with the following difficulties:
- Anxiety
- Low self-esteem
- Depression
- Loss/Bereavement
- Attachment/Relationship Difficulties
- Aggression/Behavioural problems
- Trauma
- Social and Peer pressure
The research shows that many young people feel more at ease talking to a therapist online, noting that with younger generations spending more time online it is a space they are more familiar with.
Benefits of being online include the young person being in their own, comfortable environment and having more control over the sessions. This can lead to feeling less overwhelmed and can allow them to share their feelings more easily.
