Pressure and transitions
Stress, attendance concerns, exams or finding change hard to manage.
Therapy for ages 8–17
A place to feel safe, heard and more understood.
Amber offers individual therapy for children and teenagers aged 8–17, with a pace and approach shaped around who they are, not a one-size-fits-all programme.
When support may help
Big feelings can be hard to explain.
A young person does not need to know exactly what to say. Therapy can help them understand their feelings and develop their own ways of navigating challenges.
Bullying and friendships
Space to explore what is happening and how it is affecting confidence.
Change at home
Including separation, divorce, loss or shifts in family relationships.
Identity and self-esteem
Understanding emotions, building confidence and feeling safer being themselves.
For the young person
This is your space.
You might talk, pause, draw on examples or find another way to show what is going on. Amber will work with what helps you feel most comfortable.
The aim is not to make you say more than you are ready to. Together, you can build self-awareness, ways to cope and strategies that feel realistic in your life.
You can take your time. There is no test and no perfect way to do therapy.
What Amber wants young people to know
For parents and guardians
Clear boundaries help everyone feel safer.
Talk about fit
You can share what has prompted the enquiry, what support has been tried and what the young person understands or wants.
Agree what is private
Amber explains what stays within sessions, what practical updates may be shared and the safety exceptions.
Review appropriately
How a parent or guardian is involved depends on age, need, risk and the arrangement agreed before sessions begin.
Starting well
The young person’s voice matters from the beginning.
It helps to consider what they know about the enquiry, whether they want support and what would make a first meeting feel less uncertain. These questions can be discussed before the first session.
- What has prompted the enquiry now?
- What does the young person hope might change?
- What support has already been tried?
- What needs to be agreed about updates?
Children and teenagers
