Anticipating the loss of or losing a parent, grandparent or other loved one in your teens can be frightening and confusing. Talking therapy is a chance for a young person to express feelings and understand complex emotions to begin to make sense of what’s happening.
We also work to help them keep a continuing bond with their loved ones. We put practical ideas in place to help them cope, and because their counsellor takes account of their age as well as maturity to recognise who they are, sometimes aspects of adult counselling can be used to give them the tools they need.
Their counsellor might also introduce them to practical, creative therapies to help articulate things that can be difficult to put into words.
