Being a Teenager Right Now
School pressure, friendships that change weekly, a phone that never stops, and a body rewriting its own rules. Most teenagers are handling more at once than the adults around them realise.
Counselling is not a punishment and not a sign that something is broken. It is one hour a week with someone who is not a parent, a teacher or a friend, and who will not report back on everything.
Our therapists work at a teenager's pace. Early sessions are often short on talking and long on getting comfortable, and that is a perfectly good place to start from.
What Teens Talk About Here
Sessions start wherever your teenager wants them to. These are the subjects that come up most.
Exam Pressure
Boards, entrances, and the quiet fear of letting everybody down at once.
Friendship Trouble
Being left out, held to the group's rules, or bullied where adults cannot see.
Low Mood
Flat days, long sleep, and losing interest in things that used to matter.
Anger at Home
Arguments that escalate fast, slammed doors, and apologies nobody knows how to make.
Identity and Belonging
Working out who you are, gender and orientation included, without being rushed.
Phones and Comparison
Hours lost to scrolling, and a mood that drops a little further with every post.
How We Work With Teenagers
Teenagers do not respond to a lecture. Sessions are collaborative, practical, and never about fixing them.
Talk Based Counselling
Unhurried conversation where your teenager decides what matters, with a therapist who does not grade, report or overreact.
CBT for Young People
Age appropriate tools for spiralling thoughts, exam panic and the habit of expecting the worst outcome first.
Expressive and Play Based Work
Drawing, writing and activity for younger teens, or anyone who finds eye contact and direct questions difficult.
Parent Guidance Sessions
Separate sessions for parents on what helps, what backfires, and how to stay close without interrogating.
