Therapy for Teenagers and Young People
Teenage years and early adulthood can be exciting, confusing, and challenging all at once. Young people today face increasing pressures — from school and exams to friendships, identity, social media, and future expectations.
Therapy offers a safe, supportive space where teenagers and young people can talk openly, make sense of their experiences, and develop the skills they need to cope and grow.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, respectful, and focused on helping young people feel heard, understood, and empowered.
How Therapy Can Help
Therapy can support teenagers and young people with a wide range of emotional and mental health concerns, including:
– Anxiety and stress
– Low mood or depression
– Low self-esteem or confidence
– Friendship or relationship difficulties
– Sexuality
– Family conflict or change
– School, college, or exam pressure
– Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the future
During the sessions young people can explore their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement.
Our Approach: Solution Focused Therapy
We use a solution focused approach, which is practical, positive, and future-focused. Rather than concentrating solely on problems, this approach helps young people identify what they want to be different — and how to move toward that change.
Solution focused therapy works particularly well for teenagers and young adults because it is:
– Goal-oriented and purposeful
– Strength-based and empowering
– Respectful of independence and choice
– Focused on small, achievable steps
