Teenagers and young adults are coping with changes in their body and emotions alongside new schools, friendships,  social media,  exams and the leap into university or work.

That’s a lot to navigate for anyone.  Sometimes it takes a bit of extra help to build the skills they need for today’s world.

If your teenager is struggling with confidence, anxiety, low mood or finding their way through changes at home or school, the right support can make a real difference at school and at home.

Helping teenagers and young adults to manage the worries, challenges and anxieties they face at school, in social situations and in the wider world.  

Sessions focus on building the skills to become happy, resilient and confident with practical tools at their fingertips for whenever they’re needed.

Working in partnership with your teenager or young adult, sessions help them understand what’s causing them to struggle.  There’s space to explore new ways to manage and move past what’s holding them back.  They’re supported to go at their pace with the resources they need..

What clients say:

“I have been seeing Celia for several months and through the work we’ve done together I’ve seen such a significant improvement in my mental health, particularly depression and self esteem issues. The sessions are always very focused on your experience and what you want to get out of it, and this personalised, feedback-based approach has been really helpful in making sure I get the most out of sessions. I now feel a lot more capable of managing my mental health as a result of the work we’ve done together, and the helpful skills, tools, information, and resources I’ve been equipped with (including audio recordings of our hypnotherapy sessions to listen to again). Celia is very friendly, non-judgemental, and understanding, and she’s an excellent therapist that I would highly recommend to anyone struggling with similar mental health issues. The student discount is also a really helpful bonus! The strategies I was given have helped me to deal with the frustrations I feel at times. Celia is very supportive and kind; I would highly recommend her.”

“Celia was very welcoming and able to put my daughter (age 12) at ease from the very start of the process. She took the time to listen and understand why we had sought her help and explained fully what the sessions would involve and how many we would need. It was easy for both my daughter and myself to understand what Celia would do and what we needed to do, taking away any nervousness my daughter had and making the sessions enjoyable. We have come away with great positivity and the skills to resolve what we sought help for, a beneficial and happy experience, thank you Celia!”

“Phoebe had a great week at school without any anxiety after seeing you!!! It is amazing and I’m so pleased that seeing you had a positive effect on her.”
