Child & Teenage Counselling
Talk it out in a safe place
Is your child angry and isolating themselves?
When you ask what’s wrong, do they tell you that you don’t understand, or question how much you care?
Is your teen moody?
What’s going on?
Having an angry, unhappy or depressed child is having an impact on your family and marriage. You don’t know how to help your child, and you feel like you’re failing as a parent. Your child is overwhelmed by their feelings, and you don’t know how to help them.
How I can help
Life as a teen can be really tough having to make decisions, cope with pressure from school, peers, family and social media, all whilst dealing with physical and hormonal changes. I can help your child to cope with their negative feelings and can help them accept how they feel so they can move on. We’ll talk about your family context and establish tools to support them with the difficulties they’re facing. We’ll also work on their communication techniques, and help them to talk about and own their feelings without blaming or catastrophising.
I’ll also see you without your child so I can offer advice and support on how you can help them.
When our sessions end
You will feel better able to cope if your child is unhappy, and they will feel more able to cope with their feelings. They will feel a sense of belonging and security in your family, they’ll not feel alienated from you, their wider family or community.
