Adolescent Counselling
Helping teens thrive through change
Hey, I'm Sam
A therapist with years of experience helping teenagers and their families find a way through tough moments. Adolescence can be a difficult time, and as a parent, it can feel overwhelming when your child is struggling. My approach is to meet teens where they’re at—creating a safe, approachable space for them to express themselves and discover new paths forward.
Trusted Teen Expert Since 2008
Watching your teenager go through something beyond your capacity to manage can be deeply painful. It’s frustrating when previous attempts at therapy haven’t worked, and it can feel like nothing will make a difference. You’ve seen them withdraw or push back, and the sense of helplessness is all too familiar.
What makes my approach different is my ability to genuinely connect with teenagers in a way that feels comfortable and relatable. Working with teens since 2008, I’ve supported a wide range of young people—from the most traumatised and marginalised to those thriving in high-achieving environments. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the diverse challenges and complexities they face, regardless of background or circumstance. I work to create an atmosphere of trust, offering practical strategies that help teens feel empowered and engaged in the process of change.
Hey...
So, you’re coming to therapy. Exciting stuff, right? Whether you’ve chosen to be here or someone’s strongly suggested it, I get that the whole “meet a stranger and talk about your feelings” thing can feel awkward. I know I certainly felt that way when I’ve started with new therapists. Totally normal. But don’t stress – I’m not here to judge anything you’ve felt, thought, or been through. And I’m definitely not just another adult who’s going to be telling you how to live your life. This is your space, and we’ll work together to figure out what’s best for you - it’s your call, at your pace. Just so you know, I’m human too – I’ve had my own struggles, and I’m still learning. No judgement, just a safe space to figure things out. Looking forward to having a chat whenever you’re ready!
Let's Talk
If you’re looking to explore counselling for your child, feel free to fill out the enquiry form below. Once I receive your message, I’ll be in touch to organise a free 15-minute consult. During the chat, we’ll discuss your child’s needs and goals, and see if I’m the right fit to support them. There’s no pressure to continue – it’s just a chance for us to get a sense of how we can work together.
I'm looking forward to helping your child move in the right direction!
