Teenagers and adolescents can benefit from therapy to help with school stress, violence, bullying, their sexuality, the loss of a relationship or family member.
Some teenagers benefit from identifying and working on feelings about family often related to bereavement, divorce, move, or chronic illness. Therapy for teens focuses on building self-esteem and improving relationships and communication. Therapists who specialize in the treatment of teenagers are experts at helping adolescents to cope with stress, develop problem-solving skills, a strong sense of self and emotional strength.
Answer a few simple questions and we’ll connect you with therapists who truly fit your needs. No endless searching — just a quick, personalised match to get you started.
Once you’ve found your match, booking a session is simple and stress-free. You can arrange appointments directly with your chosen therapist in just a few clicks.

Adolescence can involve significant emotional, social and practical changes. Teenagers may be managing school pressures, friendships, family relationships, identity, future decisions and increasing independence at the same time.
Therapy can provide a confidential space where a young person can talk openly with someone outside their immediate family or social circle.
A therapist can help them understand difficult emotions, recognise patterns in how they respond to situations and develop healthier ways of coping with stress and change.
Teenagers may seek therapy for anxiety, low mood, school stress, bullying, friendship or relationship difficulties, family conflict, bereavement, low self-esteem or difficulties relating to identity and sexuality.
Therapy may also help when a teenager has become withdrawn, overwhelmed, angry or worried, or when changes in their behaviour suggest that they are finding things difficult.
The reasons for seeking support will be different for every young person, and therapy should be tailored to their individual circumstances.
Teen therapy is usually based around conversation, although the exact approach will depend on the therapist and the young person.
The therapist will aim to create a space where the teenager feels able to speak honestly and without judgement.
Confidentiality is an important part of this work. The therapist should explain how confidentiality works with younger clients, including any circumstances in which information may need to be shared for safety reasons.
