Adolescent counselling

At Marcela Counselling, I understand the unique challenges and pressures that adolescents face in today's world and provide a nurturing environment to explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and build resilience to overcome life's hurdles.

If you are an adolescent facing any of these challenges or a parent seeking guidance for your child, we are here to help. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and take the first step towards a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

Our adolescent counselling services cover a range of important areas, including:

Anxiety: Anxiety can be overwhelming for adolescents, impacting their daily lives and overall well-being. I am here to help young individuals manage their anxiety, providing practical tools and strategies to navigate through stressful situations through a supportive space where adolescents can gain confidence, develop resilience, and experience a sense of calm.

Depression: Adolescent depression is a serious concern that requires understanding and expert guidance. I am trained to identify and address the signs of depression in young individuals through personalised therapeutic interventions to help adolescents regain their zest for life, find hope, and discover joy once again.

Behavioural Issues: Adolescence is a time of growth, self-discovery, and sometimes challenging behaviour. I specialise in addressing behavioural issues, working closely with adolescents to understand the underlying causes and develop healthier patterns. We provide guidance and support to help young individuals make positive choices, build strong relationships, and navigate conflicts effectively.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): ADHD can significantly impact an adolescent's academic and personal life. I offer tailored strategies to help them manage their symptoms, improve focus, enhance organizational skills, and succeed both in and outside the classroom.

Bullying: Bullying can have a detrimental effect on an adolescent's self-esteem and overall well-being. I provide a safe space for adolescents to discuss their experiences, process their emotions, develop assertiveness and resilience and empower young individuals to stand up against bullying, build healthy relationships, and cultivate a positive sense of self.

Self-esteem: I believe in the power of nurturing healthy self-esteem in adolescents and working closely with individuals to address self-esteem issues and build a positive self-image. Through therapeutic techniques and guidance, I help young individuals embrace their strengths, develop self-confidence, and cultivate a strong sense of self-worth.

Divorce and Separation: Adolescents experiencing the challenges of divorce or separation often require emotional support. I offer a compassionate space where they can express their feelings, navigate the complexities of changing family dynamics, and develop coping strategies to adapt to their new circumstances.

Separation Anxiety: Separation anxiety can be particularly challenging for adolescents and their families. I specialise in helping young individuals manage separation anxiety, providing them with tools to cope with transitions, develop independence, and build resilience.
