Teenage Counselling

Being a teenager can bring significant emotional and social pressures. Young people may struggle with anxiety, friendships, family relationships, confidence, school pressures, body image, grief, identity or simply finding it difficult to explain how they feel.

Counselling can provide a space away from everyday pressures where a young person can talk openly and be listened to without judgement. I aim to build a trusting relationship at the young person's pace, helping them feel heard while developing greater understanding and coping strategies

What might bring a young person to counselling?

Every teenager is different, but counselling can be helpful when a young person is experiencing things such as:

• Anxiety or constant worrying

• Low mood

• Low confidence or self-esteem

• Difficulties with friendships

• Family conflict

• School or exam pressures

• Feeling overwhelmed

• Anger or frustration

• Grief and loss

• Body image concerns

• Difficult experiences or trauma

• Changes at home

• Difficulties expressing emotions

• Feeling isolated or misunderstood

• Struggling to cope with everyday life

Sometimes there isn't one obvious reason. A young person may simply feel that something isn't right. That's okay too.
