The safe space of the counselling room (in person or on-line) provides an environment in which adolescents can talk confidentially about things that they may find much harder to discuss elsewhere or in other settings. Together, we sensitively explore thoughts, feelings and the reasons behind emotional distress.

Sharing thoughts, feelings, and the worries and/or problems that emerge from them, can help reduce stress and anxiety, build resilience, confidence, and self-esteem to travel toward contentment going into young adulthood.

Growing up through adolescence can often be an emotionally challenging with lots of twists and turns along the way, and no two journeys through adolescence are the same. As with all my therapy, you lead the way, but it’s together that we find the best route.

Adolescence can also be a difficult time for those related to you, carers, guardians and for your friendships.  Understanding of your own needs and how you belong to the world you live in will assist you to cope with the range of unique pressures upon you and by this therapeutic process you will help those close to you to understand you and to cope, too.

I can help you if you feel trapped by an issue; if you wish to reflect on your life from new perspectives; if a stressful situation or traumatic event has left you emotionally vulnerable or fragile, and you are struggling to cope.

Focus on and working with the emotions that arise from current life events will help you to navigate those events and realise your best outcomes or, at the least, understand yourself better as a result and achieve clarity in your life.

I believe that new insights into your issues and, more importantly, how you respond to them, and cope will give you empowerment and the most important factor in any person’s life – control.
