Teenage psychology in the Northern Beaches or online

Helping young people (14+) understand and accept themselves more, grow more confident, and learn tools to face life challenges.

MEDICARE REBATES

A warm, safe space where teens can talk openly, feel truly heard, and learn practical skills to cope better.

Common challenges teens face

  • Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or “on edge”

  • Low mood, sadness, or loss of motivation

  • Friendship or relationship difficulties

  • School stress and perfectionism

  • Body image concerns

  • Trauma or painful experiences

  • Trouble communicating with family

What sessions involve

I draw on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Focusing-Oriented Therapy.

Sessions are designed to:

  • Provide strategies for managing stress and emotions

  • Offer space to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment

  • Support the development of self-awareness and resilience

  • Consider ways of improving communication and relationships

  • Overcome challenges and move towards their desired goals
