For teenagers and young people

Being a teenager is a time of rapid change, a period of life that can be as exciting and fun as it can be complex. As a result it can be tough for some young people to navigate these new waters. It can be just as tricky for parents to adjust to this and know when to lean in and when to provide independence. Talking with a psychologist can provide a space for a young person to explore these issues in a confidential setting. The type of issues we assist with at Nest Psychology include

  • friendship problems

  • school refusal

  • mood changes

  • disengagement at school

  • self harm and risk

  • managing parental separation and divorce

  • social media and gaming use

  • identity

  • grief and loss
