Counselling for Teenagers & Young People
Being a young person today can feel overwhelming at times. There can be pressure from school, friendships, social media, expectations, or things happening at home, that are hard to make sense of.
Sometimes those feelings don’t have words yet, or they feel too big, confusing or difficult to share.
A space to be yourself
I provide a confidential, supportive and non-judgemental space where young people can begin to explore what’s going on for them at their own pace.
There is no pressure to talk about anything before you are ready. Sessions can be led by conversation, or through more creative approaches depending on what feels most comfortable.
What young people might be experiencing
Young people come to counselling for many different reasons, including:
-
anxiety or feeling overwhelmed
-
self-harm
-
low mood or depression
-
low self-esteem or lack of confidence
-
friendship or relationship difficulties
-
school-related stress or pressure
-
identity or sense of self
-
anger or strong emotions
-
difficult experiences from early childhood
-
feeling “not quite themselves”
