Young adult/teenager counselling

Adolescent psychotherapy and counselling offer a safe place in which to explore the complex emotions that come with moving from childhood to adulthood. It might touch on themes like relationships, sexuality, stress or anxiety, but this will be led by you – not directed or instructed by your therapist. The experience of therapy is different to other professional relationships, and the aim is for the young person to be actively listened to and their experience heard. A large part of this can be working with your therapist to find a means of expression and communication that works for you to make sense of the changes and experiences you face to move forward.

Support For Teens And Young Adults

 Adolescent counselling is to assist teenagers in making sense of their emotions, thoughts, and actions. This can involve standard talk therapy or alternative approaches that tap into young people’s natural expressiveness, such as art therapy.

What is Adolescent Counselling

Adolescent psychotherapy and counseling are particularly beneficial for young individuals navigating a spectrum of challenges and changes, including:

Do Adolescents Ever Need Counselling?

Your kid may benefit from therapy for a number of reasons, including self-discovery, stress, major life events, or mental health problems. Therapy can also be used to stop minor problems from developing into bigger ones in the future. Sometimes, even a small number of treatment sessions can have a significant impact on your adolescent’s general well-being. Teens frequently seek to counsel for the following issues and conditions:
  • Anxiety conditions
  • ADHD is an attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.2
  • Autism
  • Behavioural issues
  • Managing a persistent medical condition
  • Racial or cultural discrimination
  • Depression
  • Learning about one’s sexual orientation, gender, or sexuality
  • Disorders of eating
  • Grief
  • Loneliness
  • OCD, or obsessive-compulsive disorder
  • Psychological problems
  • Self-awareness, self-esteem, or self-worth issues
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Bullying and other concerns relating to school and society
  • Risky behaviours, suicidal thoughts, or self-harm
  • Stress reduction

What to Ask a Potential Therapist

Interview possible therapists over the phone, in person, or by email. Some therapists offer a free or discounted initial consultation so you can meet them and ask any questions you may have. 

You can learn crucial details and get a better idea of how the therapist will work with your adolescent to promote positive changes by asking the following questions:

What prior knowledge do you have on the specific issue my adolescent is facing?

How many years have you been in business?

Tell me about your plan for working with my teen.

Will other members of the family participate in the therapy process?

Which licence do you now hold, and is it valid?

How do you set therapy goals and track development?

Do you belong to a professional association?

Can you describe the therapeutic strategy you employ?

Consider how well the therapist has communicated their methodology and how they come across in doing so after receiving the responses to these questions. Think about it: Does the therapist seem to be knowledgeable about the subject at hand? Do they appear to genuinely care about teens? Do they respond to your questions patiently? When speaking with them, how do you feel? It is a good idea to talk to your teen about it if you are a parent and are unsure whether they need help. Tell them that you are aware that it may be difficult for them to reach out to you at this time, but that you will do your best to connect them with another person.
