Clients come to CBT often with what seems like a complex web of problems which can’t be unravelled or resolved, however they can. Clients often feel they are going round in circles or that their lives are out of control. CBT is useful for a range of issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD and phobias. Clients often need to understand why they think and feel like they do, they want practical help so they can feel better about themselves or what they have been through. Being an active therapy means clients see visible improvements each week, with practice and encouragement clients are able to resume some control over their lives.

Hi I'm Tracy, I'm a Person Centred Therapist who works with people of all ages and walks of life. If you are reading this biography, chances are you are looking for a therapist to support you with something that has challenged you personally.

Or just 'When will I be myself again?' might be racing round your head. Struggling with your mental health can be debilitating and life changing. Trying to manage depression, anxiety or low self esteem is not easy.

Teen Counsellors
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
