Growing up can be hard for adolescents and teenagers
It can also be even more challenging for families to navigate through this period. Many adolescents and teenagers may struggle with issues such as self-esteem, peer pressure, academic stress, identity, and mood swings, which can put a strain on family relationships.
It’s essential to note that when parents have their own challenges relating to loss, trauma or transition, this may also affect their adolescent or teenager and have a significant impact on them. This is why it’s crucial to work with a therapist who uses the right approaches and methods to address these issues.
We use evidence based techniques and interventions
