You are worried about your child. They have started to show signs of anxiety or depression which is starting to make you concerned. You try to lighten the mood when you can, but it is getting harder everyday. You never know what might make them upset and feel completely lost on what to do.

You feel worried about what they may be thinking or doing like self-harm or suicidal thoughts and that terrifies you.

“I am not what has happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” - Carl Jung. This quote is a foundational belief of my therapeutic process and approach.
