My approach
Adolescence is often marked by intense emotional, cognitive and identity shifts. Through our experience as School Social Workers, Sara and I have obtained in-depth knowledge about the various challenges teens face, including school avoidance, self-harm, family stress, depression, anxiety, bullying and attachment-based trauma. We appreciate how difficult it can be for young people to feel understood, therefore, we always begin with developing a therapeutic relationship based on trust and acceptance.
