Experienced working with adolescent, teenage and adults alike and neuro-diverse populations with diagnosis and self-diagnosis alike..
You may be struggling with direction in life/career, distressing thoughts, self-defeating behaviours or intense emotions which seem uncontrollable despite you looking for change. Perhaps you don't think you are able to change and are unsure if you really can. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based modality regarded as the gold standard to alleviate psychological distress and initiate positive behavioural changes. You are looking for change and are taking the initial steps to do so - well done! I have experience working with sports and exercise to enhance performance and also to enhance your life in all areas.

With doctoral-level training in evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, and years of experience in NHS trauma, addiction, child & adolescent services, Higher Education, and the third sector, I am committed to consider your unique experience.
Do you find yourself struggling to juggle daily life and navigate relationships? Do you often feel disconnected from yourself and others? Perhaps, there are parts of yourself where finding acceptance and a sense of belonging is particularly challenging. Amidst emotions suddenly becoming too difficult to manage and self-limiting beliefs, you may be feeling stuck, wondering “why is this happening to me?”. As a counselling psychologist, I understand how these and other problems are a natural response, often resulting from difficult life circumstances, which might pose additional challenges on trusting yourself and others.

Teen Counsellors

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.
