Adolescent Counselling

The adolescent period is usually considered a period of stress and storm. Counselling for Adolescents aims to support tweens and teens to enable them to make sense of their feelings, behaviours and thoughts and involves the use of distinctive techniques to help them comprehend their stage better. It also helps kids in transitioning into adulthood and to understand themselves better.

At the same time, some adolescents may also undergo concerns such as

• anxiety,

• aggression,

• self-esteem issues,

• abuse and neglect,

• bullying behaviour,

• peer relationships,

• internet addiction etc.

According to World Health Organization, 56 million Indians suffer from depression and another 38 million Indians suffer from anxiety disorders (Oct, 2020). Identifying and seeking support in the early stages can help one seek clarity regarding the concern and live a stress-free and happy life.

The therapist uses the right blend of approach and therapy ranging from cognitive-behaviour therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, solution-focused therapy to behaviour therapy, client-centered therapy and motivational enhancement therapy (MET) depending upon the needs of the client.
