Groups
TeenMatters
We are a group of 3 psychotherapists/ counsellors living and working in London, who set up a practice together called Teenmatters, offering specialist support to those at the beginning, middle and end of adolescence (which extends to the mid 20s) as well as to parents supporting their children through this period of transition. We set up our practice specialising in this demographic as were aware of the challenges and distress faced by many children, teenagers and their parents (such as family breakdown, school pressures, social media and relationship challenges) but also aware of the lack of provision locally.
