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. NO WAITLIST
Being a teenager can feel overwhelming. School pressures, friendships, family dynamics, social media, and identity changes often bring stress, anxiety, or low mood. Many teens struggle silently, not knowing who to turn to for support or unsure how to express what they feel.
At SelfConnect Psychology, I offer 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
