Young Adult & Adolescent Counselling & Psychotherapy

Physical change that occurs during adolescent years, teenagers may often feel over-sensitive and lack self-confidence as they come to terms with the changes they are going through. Mood swings and shyness are some of the most common features associated with adolescence. It is a period of vulnerability for the teenager, which requires support and understanding.

Teenagers often find their independence by making friends and widening their social circle. As they begin to carve out an identity, they become more susceptible to their friend's influences. In general this is a healthy process that enables the teenager to find a niche outside of the family environment. But occasionally peer pressure may lead to situations that need parental or professional guidance. Ignoring the signs and not handling the situations could result in further deepening emotional problems to full blown mental health issues such as depression, anxiety.
