Teenage Counselling

Navigating the challenging developmental years of adolescence involves grappling with abstract thinking and issues of identity. For many teenagers, dealing with bullying both at school and through social media can be a significant source of stress and trauma. It is crucial to recognise that trauma can stem not only from the presence
