Adolescent Therapy
Support for teens navigating life’s challenges
Adolescence is a time of change, growth, pressure, and discovery. We offer supportive, evidence-based therapy to help teens build emotional resilience and develop healthy coping skills. We can also work collaboratively with parents, caregivers, schools, and other professionals to ensure well-rounded support.
Common Counselling issues
We support clients with a wide range of issues, including:
- Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm
- Depression or low mood
- School challenges and academic pressure
- Friendship or peer difficulties
- Social anxiety and confidence concerns
- Bullying (in-person or online)
- Family changes or conflict
- Grief, loss, or major life transitions
- ADHD and attention-related difficulties
- Behavioural and emotional regulation challenges
- Trauma or distressing experiences
- Identity, self-esteem, and sense of self
We Work Together with Families
Therapy for teens works best when everyone feels supported. We have psychologists on our team who will help keep caregivers informed, whilst providing a confidential space for the client, provide guidance when needed, and collaborate with schools or other supports (with consent) to create a consistent, wrap-around approach.
