Reasons teenagers come
Adolescence can bring rapid changes in the body, relationships, identity and expectations. Counselling offers time to understand what feels overwhelming.
School and social life
Academic pressure, friendship problems, bullying, isolation or difficulty finding a place.
Identity and change
Questions about identity, sexuality, the body, migration, belonging and becoming more independent.
Family relationships
Conflict at home, parental separation, difficulty communicating or feeling misunderstood.
Confidentiality and parents
The adolescent has a confidential space. Parents are involved in a way that respects age, safety and the young person’s need for trust. Confidentiality has limits when there is a serious safety concern, which is explained clearly.
First consultation
The format is adapted to the situation. A first conversation may include the parents and adolescent together, followed by time with the young person alone. We agree on a workable framework rather than applying one format to every family.
