Adolescent Counselling
Summary
Adolescent counselling provides specialized support for teenagers (ages 12-19) navigating the unique challenges of this developmental stage. Our approach combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a deep understanding of adolescent brain development, social dynamics, and emotional needs. We address issues like academic stress, peer relationships, family conflicts, self-esteem, and mental health concerns in a way that resonates with teens. Our counsellors create a safe, non-judgmental space where adolescents can express themselves freely while developing coping skills and resilience for adulthood.

FAQs
Confidentiality is crucial for effective teen counselling. While we encourage open family communication, we maintain teen confidentiality except in situations involving safety risks (harm to self/others, abuse). We will discuss confidentiality policies during the first session and help facilitate healthy communication between teens and parents when appropriate.
