74. Counselling:
Counselling can really help people to
cope with difficulties that they struggle to deal with in their
lives. Sometimes all your teen needs is a friend or family member to
listen to them and maybe offer advice if they ask for it but at other
times when a problem persists then they may really benefit from a
counsellor.
Counselling can be accessed by people
who need it via their school or G.P.
There can be a waiting list but urgent
cases are prioritised.
Counselling is confidential. The client
builds up a relationship with their counsellor to the point that they
can share what is upsetting them. The counsellor can explore their
concerns and ask them questions to help them to find more effective
ways of dealing with challenges in their lives. The process can take
time and it takes a willingness to change. The effects of counselling
can be dramatic.
Counselling can help with anxiety,
depression and a whole host of other challenges. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can also be extremely helpful in assisting your
teen to make positive changes in their life. Visit NHS Choices to
