Working with teenagers
Adolescence is genuinely hard. It deserves to be taken seriously.
The teenage years are one of the most complex periods of any person’s life. The pressure to perform, belong, figure out who you are and where you’re going — it’s a lot to deal with alone. We can change that.
I’m here to help you find what you need and support you along the way.
If you’re worried about your teenager — whether they’re struggling with anxiety, withdrawing, losing motivation, or just not quite themselves — it can be hard to know what support is right, or how to even bring it up.
I work with young people using a blend of coaching and psychotherapy, depending on what they need. For some, it’s structured support — goal-setting, building confidence, navigating decisions. Others need a more exploratory space to understand what they’re feeling and why.
Many need both, at different times.
Parents are involved in an initial conversation. After that, the work belongs to the young person — genuinely theirs, without judgement.
This isn’t a place where someone tells you what to do or who to be. It’s a space to figure that out for yourself, with someone genuinely curious about you and in your corner.
We might talk about what’s been going on, what you actually want, what keeps getting in the way. We might work on something specific. Or we might just start by making sense of things.
You don’t have to have it figured out before you arrive. That’s kind of the point.
This is a confidential space for you to be and do whatever you need, free from the expectations of others.

How it works
A brief initial chat with parents or caregivers. Free, no obligation. Just a chance to ask questions and work out if this feels right.
First session for the young person. Low pressure, no agenda. Just getting to know each other and seeing how it feels.
Weekly or fortnightly sessions. The approach adapts as things develop and needs change over time.
