At-Risk Teen Counselling & Parent Support
The right support — wherever your young person is at
Some families come to me with a young person who’s struggling — anxious, withdrawn, losing confidence, or just not feeling like themselves. Others come in the middle of a genuine crisis: school refusal, substances, rage, risk. Wherever you are on that spectrum, what I offer adapts to meet you. I work with young people aged 12–25 individually, and I work directly with parents — because how a parent shows up is often the most powerful part of any young person’s healing.
