Young People

Growing up nowadays has many challenges with school, fitting in, friendship groups, social media, gender and sexuality, a fear of growing up and the state of the planet being just some of these. We will work towards empowering the young person with new skills and understanding so this transition to adulthood is more manageable.

Young People today face many challenges such as social groups, social media, family dynamics especially in split families, sexuality and gender issues, academic pressures, environmental concerns as well as the everyday problems of transitioning into an adult.

We will use age appropriate methods to help them sort through their experiences and gain a better understanding of their emotions and relationships. We will then look at practical tools to help them deal with their situation and channel their emotions more appropriately.

Working within the bounds of confidentiality we will consider together if important adults such as parents, guardians or teachers need to be informed of any ideas with a view to further and ongoing support.

Sessions are £45 per hour and these tend to be weekly to begin with but we work around their schedules and plan from week to week. Once a relationship has been established, ongoing support can be via Skype if they are leaving to go to University.
