Adolescents

Adolescence is a new birth, for the higher and more completely human traits are now born.

 

I offer professional counselling and psychotherapeutic services to adolescents between the ages of 12 – 18. It is not easy to navigate our way through the turbulent years of growing up. Adolescents are faced with myriad challenges, from school and peer groups, to exam pressures and sexuality. I provide confidential one to one counselling and psychotherapy, offering teenagers a safe, non judgemental space in which to explore the issues and challenges that they are meeting in their daily lives.

I have a keen interest in working with this age group,  I believe that many of the problems faced by adults later in life could be mitigated with the right assistance.

 

Challenges facing adolescents

In our ever changing world, the challenges facing teenagers are also changing. With ready access to the internet and social networking, new challenges must be met and overcome. Self harm, eating disorders, issues with sexuality and self esteem are all problems that can be faced in a safe environment and explored.
