Youth Counselling
Youth Counselling in Squamish & Online
Adolescence is a time of growth, discovery, and challenge. It’s common for young people to feel overwhelmed by emotions, identity questions, or social pressures—and they don’t always know how to talk about it.
Counselling offers a space where youth can explore what’s going on internally with the support of a trusted adult who listens without judgment. Whether your teen is struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, school stress, or family dynamics, therapy can help them build emotional resilience and self-awareness.
How Counselling Can Help
Manage anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional ups and downs
Build healthy coping strategies and self-esteem
Navigate peer relationships and family conflict
Explore identity and big life questions
Feel more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves
My Approach with Youth
I create a warm, safe environment where teens can feel seen and heard. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and trauma-informed—never forcing, always guiding.
We might talk, reflect, explore body-based tools for managing emotions, or use creative approaches depending on your teen’s comfort level. I draw on both somatic practices and attachment theory to help them better understand themselves and their patterns.
Parents are included in the process as needed and appropriate, with respect for the youth’s growing independence and privacy.
Is Youth Counselling Right for Your Teen?
Counselling can be helpful if your teen is:
Experiencing anxiety, sadness, or stress
Struggling with friendships or peer dynamics
Going through big changes or family transitions
Feeling unsure of who they are or where they belong
Acting out or withdrawing in ways that concern you
In Person or Online
I offer youth counselling in Squamish, BC and virtually across British Columbia. Online sessions can be a flexible and comfortable option for teens who prefer meeting from home.
