Therapy for Teenagers (13+)
Teenage years are a time for personal growth, self-discovery and change. The moment a child becomes a teenager, they are besieged with a variety of new external and internal struggles including more home-life expectations, changing bodies, increased work and academic pressure, peer pressure, bullying, conflict with parents, extracurricular activities, and even new romantic relationships. Social media further complicates a teenager's perception of others and themselves, which increases the risk of poor body image, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders and depression.
Therapy can help empower teenagers and youths who need help coping with family problems, school problems, bullying, behavioural problems, emotional difficulties, stress, gender dysphoria, traumatic experiences, and other difficult life circumstances.
Warning Signs of Troubled Teen Behaviours

Bullying & School Problems
Bullies can be cruel and relentless, and the abuse often worsens over time as the bully gets emboldened. Bullying can be physical, verbal, or relational, and it often deeply impacts the victim. Bullying can leave a person feeling helpless, humiliated, anxious, depressed, and lonely.
If your teenager is being bullied, the mental health consequences can be severe and, even, life threatening. It is important to speak to your child, and if necessary, have them speak to a psychologist in order to cope and manage with abuse.
