Online Clinical Psychology Consultation for Adolescents
To enhance and boost growing flowers
Adolescence is one of the stages of greatest growth in an individual's life. It's when the seeds that were once sown begin to bloom, so it's an opportunity to enhance and boost the growing flowers.
Psychological counselling for adolescents can be useful when the challenges and difficulties typical of this stage of life are having an impact on the adolescent's functioning, but also for the purposes of stimulating self-knowledge and personal development. In this way, counselling aims to help them manage difficulties, acquire new skills and reflect on the age related issues.
​
It's important to emphasise:
- Online counselling is available from the age of 13;
- It is essential to book at least one appointment to gather developmental information from parents or main carers.
HOW DOES THE THERAPY UNRAVELS?
