A Different Approach
Our adolescent and young adult Counselling Service provides a safe place for young people to explore their often confusing thoughts, feelings and emotions.
While some young people prefer just to talk, others find this difficult and require a more creative approach to support them to understand and express themselves.
Our therapists work in a developmentally appropriate and eclectic way to establish a therapeutic relationship with our young clients, working creatively with him/her through a variety of media in addition to traditional talking therapy such as art, music, sand, clay, games, visualisation etc.
Counselling can help with a range of issues including:
- Anxiety & Stress
- Anger
- Depression
- Behavioral Problems
- Low self-esteem
- Bullying
- Relationship Difficulties
- Family issues
- Bereavement or Loss
- Identity
