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.

Everyone on this page describes their work as psychotherapy. A psychotherapist works through talking with you about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Psychotherapy usually runs longer than counselling and aims for clinical change. It works on patterns that repeat rather than on one current problem.
