looking for a Counsellor?

A teenager is like a beacon that attracts every single feeling, emotion, experience and temptation. Your teen needs support at this time. Depression and anxiety are often seen in teenagers, and self-medicating or self-harm are all too common. No matter what your teen is going through, engaging in teen counselling can help take care of their mental health.

Unavoidably, when a young person attends teen counselling, it will reveal behaviours and beliefs that penetrate through the family unit. 

Having your teen attend counselling, and then listening to and supporting them through it (or even attending yourself), can create a much more steady, non-violent and more peaceful environment at home.

Self-confidence is consistently sought by some teens, and feared by others. 

Either way, engaging in teen counselling is a healthy way for your teen to experience this as they take ownership of their feelings, experiences and mental health. It also empowers you to ‘let go,’ understanding they are in safe hands.

Supporting your teen and enabling them to participate in teen counselling provides an alternate avenue to keep them accountable. Rather than them feeling victimised for their behaviours, a counsellor will give them the independence to examine why this is occurring, and how to move forward.

With all the intense emotions your teen feels every day, they simply want to know that they are ok. 

The world, their companions and their family is ordering them to do things better or not do some things. 

Sometimes they feel like they should be a completely different person and act like a different person every day depending on who they are with. The constant need to feel appreciated, understood and trusted is what your teen is desperate for during this stage of life. 

A counsellor provides this in their sessions, allowing your teen to explore their place in the world in a safe environment.
