Working with Adolescents

Adolescents may not know why they are feeling or acting the way that they are. Or, they may know why but do not know what to do too feel or act differently. Adolescents face many difficulties in the transition from childhood into adulthood. Often, their behaviour and attitude are good indicators that they might be struggling or having difficulty coping with things going on in their lives. They may appear depressed or sad, threatening, withdrawn or secretive, they may be drinking, being promiscuous, truanting from school or college. Counselling can make a real difference. Counselling provides the kind of support, direction, and help that can make the difference in your teenager’s mental and physical health, relationships, and overall outlook. Adolescents do not have to go through life’s struggles, frustrations, and losses alone.
