What is it?

Adolescence is a period of rapid change in body, emotions and relationships. Some instability is part of it: arguing more, wanting more privacy, changing interests. Therapy for teenagers helps when that instability turns into suffering, or when parents and children can no longer talk.

Signs and symptoms

Withdrawal, constant irritability, sadness that does not lift, falling grades or refusing school, changes in sleep and eating, heavy phone use to escape everything else, and signs of self-harm. Any talk of not wanting to live should be taken seriously and calls for immediate help.

How we help

A psychologist for teenagers builds a trusting relationship with the young person, respects their privacy and involves parents to the right degree. We work on anxiety, low mood, school pressure and conflict at home, and guide parents on how to support. Online therapy in English, by video call, with an English-speaking therapist: for people in Portugal and for expats, wherever you live in Europe.

It is common. It helps to present the session as their own space and not a punishment, to let them take part in choosing the psychologist, and to agree on a first session with no commitment. If they still refuse, parents can start alone and receive guidance.
