Youth Counselling - Geelong
Who I support
Youth counselling can support teenagers and young people who are navigating:
Anxiety or constant worry
Stress from school, study or responsibilities
Low motivation or burnout
Friendship or social challenges
Identity, self esteem or confidence struggles
Family conflict or communication difficulties
Emotional regulation or anger
Transitions, change or life uncertainty
Grief, loss or big feelings they find hard to talk about
Young people do not need a diagnosis to benefit from counselling. Support can simply help them feel steadier, more connected and more confident in who they are.
