ADOLESCENTS

Adolescence is a crucial period for physical, emotional, mental and social well-being and development.

​

In addition to these changes, adolescents face many social challenges such as meeting scholastic requirements, maintaining relationships, establishing their identity and figuring out who they want to be in life.

​

Whilst this period is often overwhelming and challenging for adolescents and their families, therapy provides a safe place to talk about problems and concerns versus holding them in. Therapy can also assist with learning more useful ways of communicating and coping with difficult emotions.

​

Therapy can be useful with addressing the following difficulties-

• Emotional regulation

• Self harming behaviours

• Eating disorders

• Trauma

• Depression

• Suicidality

• Anxiety

• Adjustment difficulties
