Counselling for Teens and Adolescents in Malton

Heal Haven Therapy
Psychologist, GMBPsS
Malton YO17
Emotional and psychological difficulties can occur at any time and often more than once, and can be co-occurring. Evidence suggests anxiety and depression is more prevalent in neuro-divergency. Therapy is available for all young people whether or not there is a neuro-divergency. CBT relies on collaboration, does not aim to ‘change’ a person’s way of thinking but helps in identifying more supportive thinking styles. At Heal Haven Therapy, CBT sessions will be neuro-affirming (adapted where necessary), trauma-informed, and from a qualified, specialist practitioner. Sessions can be online or in person (Malton).

You may be visiting this site because you or your child have been newly diagnosed with a health condition. Or you might have been living with a difficulty for a long time. When dealing with health challenges it can be common to experience anxiety, depression, or stress. As a practitioner health psychologist, I use an integrative approach to support people of all ages. Throughout my extensive training and clinical experience, I have developed competence in many different therapeutic techniques, meaning that I will tailor your sessions to you, rather than trying to make you and your experiences fit into a particular approach.

Life can be hard at times. We can experience loss, changes in our health, family circumstances or work life. Maybe our relationships are not fulfilling our needs and we do not know how to change things. At times, we don’t feel good about ourselves, we lose confidence in our ability to cope with life or maybe we feel impacted by past experiences or held back through feelings of anger, shame or guilt. Sometimes we don’t know what’s wrong, but we just know something isn’t right. I can help you explore what is going on for you by giving you a supportive space to talk and be heard.

Counselling is an opportunity to be heard, to share with a trained person some of the difficulties that you encounter and to be supported to make positive changes to your life. I work in a respectful, empathic, understanding and compassionate way, providing a confidential, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences. By reflecting on these experiences you can learn new ways of doing things and progress past what you feel is holding you back or causing you difficulty. I currently work from a comfortable and private space that is used solely for client sessions, online via video call or outdoors.

Ellie Ryde
Counsellor, MBACP
You might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like something just isn’t right, even if you can’t put your finger on it. Maybe you’re exhausted from relationships that leave you feeling unseen, or you find yourself constantly overthinking, people-pleasing, or doubting your own needs. I work with people who are ready to understand themselves on a deeper level, even if that feels scary at first. My clients often want to break old patterns, build self-trust, and start showing up in their lives in a way that feels more true to who they are. You don’t need to have it all figured out, just a willingness to be curious and honest.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
