CBT
for teens
The teen years are a time of growth, physical and emotional change and the beginning of independence.
It's an exciting time. It is also a very stressful and angst ridden time.
Peer pressure becomes all consuming. Thoughts build and repeat:
"How do I look? What do they think of me? Am I popular, cool?"
All of a sudden as parents what we say doesn't seem to have an impact. 'We don't understand'/'we don't know what it's like'.
Depression is a real issue and can be overwhelming; anxiety can be debilitating and restricting.
Being a mother of 5 children as well as a full trained Li-CB Therapist I specialise in helping teens understand their anxiety and depression; giving them the tools to learn how to cope and overcome.
Help your teen:
Boost confidence and self-esteem
Change negative thinking
Learn how to self-regulate
Adopt problem solving & assertiveness skills
Overcome procrastination
Tackle exam anxiety
Learn to Fight the Fear
Adopt life-long problem solving skills in as little as 12 sessions (subject to circumstance)
