Adolescents and Teenagers
Managing life with pressure from school, friends, relationships and family can be overwhelming as a teen. Making things worse, there’s often a feeling of not fitting in, feeling disrespected and being misunderstood. On top of that, may be existing issues with family disputes, low self-esteem, pregnancy, mental health issues, learning difficulties or disabilities, stress, depression and anxiety.
I assist teenagers to clarify, talk about and work through issues in areas including:
Peer pressure
School issues & expulsion
Pressure from exams
Partying & drug abuse
Loneliness
Online bullying
Body image & self-esteem
Teenage sexuality
Grief and loss
Anxiety & fear
Sadness & depression
Self-harm
Suicidal thoughts
Violence, abuse & trauma
Family issues
Relationship problems
Teenage pregnancy
I want you to know that you are not alone and there are people who can help.
I understand the social stigmas that come with being a teenager, and thus I aim to help clients sort out their problems while offering support and care through their teen years.
