ADOLESCENT COUNSELLING
Your teenage years are a period of intense physical, mental, and emotional changes which many adolescents can find difficult. It’s not uncommon for teenagers to develop psychological distress or even mental health struggles during this time. If you or your teenage son/daughter are experiencing issues with the transition into adulthood, I can help.
With years of experience offering teenage counselling to clients, I offer a safe, relaxed, and open therapeutic space for adolescents to work through their issues. I use an integrative and holistic approach to all of my Galway and Mullingar counselling services, working in close collaboration with you to find a psychotherapeutic method to suit your individual needs. By encouraging open communication and person-centred therapy, we can work together to sort through your struggles in a safe, relaxed, and calm manner.
