How therapy with teenagers works
A therapist shapes the work to the teenager's age. It is not adult therapy cut short.
Physical, emotional and social change in adolescence can make young people vulnerable to mental health problems 1.
Work often covers anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, school, friendships and conflict at home. A therapist handles confidentiality differently with a young person than with an adult.
A therapist usually involves parents to some degree. Ask a practitioner at the start what will be shared with you.
What a psychologist does, and where assessment fits in
Everyone on this page is listed under the professional title psychologist. Psychologists apply the study of the mind and behaviour to assist people through difficulty. Clinical psychologists work with people of all ages, with families, carers, teams and communities.
Assessment belongs to a psychologist's training, and sits alongside therapy. Clinical, counselling and educational psychology are different training routes. Each route emphasises different work.
Which titles are registered varies by country. Where the title is registered, the register says what it covers. Ask a psychologist which route they trained through, and what they work with most.
