Teenagers & Young People

Navigating the teenage years can be a challenging journey for both young people and their families. As teenagers transition into adulthood, they often face a myriad of emotions and situations that can feel overwhelming. It's important to recognise that seeking help is a sign of strength, and counselling can provide a safe space for teenagers to express themselves and explore their feelings.

Common issues that teenagers and young people may encounter include anxiety, depression, peer pressure, academic stress, and relationship challenges. These issues can significantly impact their mental health and overall well-being. It's crucial to address these concerns early on, as they can affect not only their emotional state but also their social interactions and academic performance.

Counselling can be incredibly beneficial for teenagers and young people. It offers them the opportunity to talk about their feelings in a non-judgmental environment, helping them to gain insights into their thoughts and behaviours. Through counselling, young people can develop coping strategies, improve their self-esteem, and learn how to manage their emotions more effectively. This support can empower them to navigate their challenges with greater confidence and resilience.

At Jamie Clarke Counselling, we understand the unique needs of teenagers and young people. We offer a range of therapeutic interventions tailored to support their personal growth and emotional well-being.

We believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive. Our approach is friendly and approachable, ensuring that teenagers feel comfortable and supported throughout their counselling journey. Whether they are dealing with specific issues or simply seeking a space to talk, we are here to help them navigate their mental health journey with clarity and confidence.

If you or someone you know could benefit from counselling, don’t hesitate to reach out. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help, and taking that first step can lead to a brighter, more fulfilling future.

How we can help

By utilising a variety of therapeutic approaches, we can help you to talk about your life and anything that may be confusing, painful or uncomfortable; all within a safe and confidential place.

We can help you to explore your anxiety, what effects you, and bring understanding to the causes of your anxiety.  We can also help you with negative and intrusive thoughts, feelings of discomfort, and to take control of your situation.

We offer face to face counselling sessions in Ipswich, Suffolk, on a regular basis; short term or long term, and online counselling via video call.

How long will it take to see results?

It normally takes a few sessions for you to become aware of changes and improvements in your life.  Everybody is different and will have different goals depending on their situation.  We generally recommend booking a block of six sessions with a review during the fourth, before deciding on any further help.

How often can we meet?

You can decide how often you meet.  Generally, individuals will meet on a weekly or fortnightly basis for the first few sessions, and then once a month as you start to feeling more able to cope.
