Helping Your Teenager Help Themselves

If your teenager is struggling it can be for many reasons. But one thing is for certain, as their parent, watching them during this time is tough. It doesn’t have to be like this.  A bit of outside support may be all they need.

I help overwhelmed Teens achieve self-awareness & understanding, without the fear of messing up or being judged so that they can feel in CONTROL, CONFIDENT & HAPPY.

I work a lot with

01.

Anxiety

This is one of the biggest issues I see.  Anxiety can cause many issues over and above the fear itself. Things like avoidance, unhealthy coping mechanisms & can have serious effects on their physical health as well as mental well-being.

02.

Self Esteem

A teen with a low self-esteem isn’t uncommon. Neither is the idea that their identity is a HUGE part of their life.  However, low self-esteem can cause multiple issues.  With the right support they can start to see themselves differently and appreciate who they are, who they can be and use this strength for the rest of their lives. 

03.

Depression

Teenagers have to deal with a lot of different pressures, expectations and changes. I’m sure this isn’t new information. For some all of this can become too much and they find best way to deal with this is to shut down. 

Outside support can help process these pressures and enable change and control to reignite. 

04.

Self Confidence

A Teen without self-confidence generally doesn’t appreciate themselves. They feel no sense of control in their life and can find themselves lost in the world of friendships, interests, and success in general. Combine all these together and life can feel pretty awful.

05.

Emotional Control

All of my work with Teenagers includes an element of Emotional Control. This is the ability to recognise & manage their emotions to enable them to achieve goals, complete tasks and control and choose their responses to life. 

06.

Friendships/Relationships

Obviously this isn’t a mental health issue but I felt I needed to pick this issue out as it is one of the biggest influences over your teenagers life. 

For Teens, the relationships they hold are the top of their values list. When any of these relationships change or break it can have a HUGE effect on their mental & physical health.

Every teen is different, every parent is different. There are many ways to help, you just have to find what works for your teen & you.

"Thank you for your help, support & guidance. My daughter is a lot happier and has some tools that she us using to help herself. Its been hard for me to accept I was not the right person or at least that I didn't have the skills to help her through some of this. But, its actually been good for me too, taking a bit of pressure off me. It is still a worry but having you support her meant I can be her mum. It has meant so much to both of us.
THANK YOU"
