Adolescent Therapy
I specialise in adolescent therapy and have worked as a consultant in an adolescent psychiatric unit for nearly a decade. This has given me extensive experience in helping teenagers navigate the complex challenges of this crucial developmental phase.
​
Teenagers are often perceived as closed off, but this stage of life involves significant changes — from identity and peer relationships to family dynamics, self-esteem, and school pressures. Many young people struggle to put their emotions into words, even though they feel them intensely.
​
My approach to teen counselling is to create a safe, supportive environment where adolescents can express themselves without fear of judgement. Together, we explore healthy ways to manage emotions, build resilience, and strengthen relationships at home, school, and with peers.
