Teen Therapy

sv-dt1

The teenage years are a period of significant transition, filled with unique pressures from academics, social circles, family, and self-identity. My teen therapy service offers a confidential and independent space where adolescents can speak openly about their struggles without fear of judgement. I provide support for issues like anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, peer relationships, and the stress of academic life.

Working collaboratively, I help teens untangle their thoughts and feelings, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a stronger, more positive sense of identity. My approach is grounded in respect for their growing independence while offering the steady support they need.

Frequently asked questions

(01) My teenager is reluctant to try therapy. What can I do?
It's very common for teens to be hesitant. I recommend framing it as a space for them, not a punishment. You can suggest they try just one or two sessions to see if it's a good fit, with no pressure to continue. The choice and pace are always theirs.
(02) Will you tell me what my teenager talks about in sessions?
It's very common for teens to be hesitant. I recommend framing it as a space for them, not a punishment. You can suggest they try just one or two sessions to see if it's a good fit, with no pressure to continue. The choice and pace are always theirs.
(03) What issues can teen therapy help with?
Therapy can help with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, school stress, friendship and relationship problems, family conflict, low self-esteem, body image issues, and coping with life changes like divorce or loss.
(04) How is therapy with a teenager different from with an adult?
While it's still talk-based, the approach is more collaborative and less formal. I often use metaphors, creative techniques, and relatable language to engage them. The focus is on building a genuine connection and working as a team.
(05) Do you provide support for parents as well?
Yes, I offer separate parent support sessions. These are focused on helping you understand your teen's world, developing effective communication strategies, and exploring ways to support your teen's emotional health while also looking after your own.
