Being A Teen Can Suck

(but it doesn’t have to!)

I am a counsellor based in Pinehill, Auckland. I specialise in helping youth and teenagers overcome the problems in their lives.

To Parents:

As parents it is hard watching our children go through difficult times.

Sometimes however, life comes to the point where we have tried all we can to help them, but it is not helping. We may even ask ourselves: “Are we good parents?” or “Are we doing the right thing?”.

At these times the best thing we can do is to get outside assistance from a trained and experienced counsellor. Professional counselling gives your teenager a place to talk about the problems that he or she is facing without fear of judgement, consequences or unwanted advice.

Do not try to help your teenager all by yourself. I can help!

To Teenagers:

Many teenagers struggle with challenges such as dealing with bullying, conflict with friends, self-harming behaviour, drug or alcohol use, difficulty in romantic relationships and even finding meaning in life.

As a result of these challenges it is easy to feel lost, confused, embarrassed, ashamed, angry, depressed and at times, even suicidal.

While these feelings are normal, if any of these feelings are beginning to overwhelm you it is important to get help as soon as possible. You are not alone in what you feel.

If you are thinking of talking to a counsellor you should feel proud of yourself. It is a brave step. I will provide you with a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space in which you can talk about what is going on in your life. Together we can find ways of changing how you feel and help you develop a greater sense of confidence, happiness and well-being.

If you are thinking of seeking help, don’t delay. Booking a counselling session is easy through this site.

I look forward to meeting you!

I have never attended counselling before. What should I expect?

It is normal to be nervous before your first counselling session.

Do not let this put you off however. In the first session I will endeavour to make you as comfortable as possible. The first session is usually an exploratory session. I will ask you some questions about why you are here and how I can help you.

You can answer as many (or as few) of these questions as you want to. It is my job to make counselling a safe, comfortable and easy process for you.

If you have any questions that you would like to ask me prior to booking a counselling session with me, contact me here.

What if I have to cancel an appointment?

I understand that sometimes you will need to change appointment times. I do not charge for times that are changed with greater than 24 hours notice.

However, I will need to charge for changed appointments if I receive less than 24 hours notice.
