Child and Adolescent Counselling

Adolescence is a uniquely tricky and transformative time in a young person's life. Navigating this period often involves a complex mix of challenges, from figuring out identity and managing peer group pressures to handling shifts in family dynamics and intense relationship stressors.

These changes can significantly impact a young person's sense of self-worth and overall well-being. When the feelings become so overwhelming, it's common for adolescents to stumble upon some unhealthy coping strategies. If you are a parent or guardian, or if you are an adolescent yourself, and are concerned about intense anxiety, stress, or self-esteem issues, or perhaps struggling with identity or persistent feelings of isolation, we offer a safe, non-judgemental space to process these challenges.

We can also help with changes in mood, behaviour, or family relationships. We recognise that some struggles require specialised support. If you or your child is coping with distress through behaviours like self-harm or is struggling with an eating disorder or other body image concerns, please know that you don't have to face this alone. Our therapists are trained to provide sensitive, evidence-based interventions to help replace unhealthy coping mechanisms with effective, positive strategies.

We offer a compassionate, collaborative approach to help adolescents find stability, build healthy coping skills, and move toward a healthier future. If you are concerned about your child or yourself struggling with self-harm or an eating disorder, please talk to us about how we can help. Contact us today to schedule a confidential discussion or book an appointment.

If you feel that critical care is needed please call 000 in an emergency, or one of the crisis support services listed on our resources page.
