Mental Health and Wellbeing for Teens
Adolescence can be a difficult time; working out your place in the world, who you are, and who you want to be. At the same time dealing with demands of education, parents and peers.
With over 20 years experience of working with teenagers in education, I can provide support and teach strategies to help teens unlock their potential, build their self confidence, find direction and enhance their resilience.
Your teen can have ad hoc, individual sessions. Or, alternatively, I offer 3 different programmes.
​
Each programme includes psycho-education; teens learn the psychology behind their experiences. They then learn tools and strategies to help them manage their challenges and to meet their own needs (which include autonomy, competence and belonging).
​
By developing their communication skills, improving motivation and building resilience, they learn to successfully manage this stage of their life and ensure a heathy transition to the next phase.
​
In our sessions they will have opportunities to experience and practice these strategies which means they can start to rewire their brain, creating positive change in their nervous system and equipping them with skills that will last their lifetime.
This is what is missing from the school curriculum and with challenges of phones and social media it is more important than ever to arm our teens with the skills and resources they need to thrive.

From J.C.: "Lauren was just what we needed, like a guardian angel able to offer gentle encouragement and guidance. Our teenage son was really struggling – not happy with his college course, completely demotivated and anxious about his future. He found the wide range of career options available totally baffling and struggled to identify what he wanted to do with life. Lauren was able to help him regain his mojo and focus on where he wants to be. As a result he’s joined a gym, got a new part time job, is sleeping much better and has enrolled on a new course of study – all of which are his decisions. Lauren is truly amazing, kind, understanding and I genuinely believe she speaks ‘teen’. We could not have asked for a better coach or a better outcome."
