Counselling and Therapy for Adolescents

*Teens 13-18

Adolescence can sometimes feel a bit scary and overwhelming, with lots of mixed feelings!  Anxiety can be rife during this time, unsurprising given the array of complex feelings relating to identity in the midst of your transition from child to adult. A huge amount of change is happening not only physically visibly, but also in the brain, which can impact your world and those around you. In addition to all of this, you may feel you respond differently to how the adults do or expect around you, during changes unfolding around you such as pressure in school, home or college, social media and a sense of ‘what’s expected’ in order to belong socially, which might at times feel hard to match up to.

As a teen counsellor, I have been trained to understand the significance of this backdrop, which makes it quite different to working with my younger clients or adults. My experience and training has equipped me to hold a space for you; enabling you to explore a sense of who you are through this period of change and validate your feelings. I have experience of working with depression, anxiety, self-harm, sexuality, body image, friendship’s and families. My intention is to help you find ways to take a step back and into what is happening, self-soothe and find ways to resolve the things you might be finding hard to manage. I will not advise you, or tell you what to do, I am here to listen, and we can draw, write, explore and I will support you in being able to move forward, in a way that feels helpful to you.

*Every child is unique so these age guidelines are adaptable

If you are a parent seeking support for your child, I am happy to help. I often hold initial consultations with you both initially, and then if your child feels comfortable and would like to work with me, we create a plan moving forward.

I have developed a solid understanding of safeguarding and I am enhanced DBS checked to work with this age group as well as vulnerable Adults. I also currently work at BHASVIC College Brighton to Counsel Teens locally alongside my clinical practice.

I can also provide support sessions for parents, carers, teachers and other professionals.
