Pomeroy Psychology

Teenagers and Parents

One of my main area's of specialty is with teenagers and young people. I have spent most of my career working in this area, and I love it!

It may be that your teenager is struggling with worry and anxiety that's starting to overwhelm them and interfere in their life. It may be that their mood is really low or they are really angry a lot of the time, and you both feel like they need a little bit of help understanding what is happening and how to manage a little better in order to get on and live life.

Sometimes it can be that there have been major stresses and trauma's in their life that is affecting them or difficulties at school that you would like some help with. Sometimes it may be that you feel you would like some help in parenting as well.

I can help with most issues that teenagers might face, and if not we can discuss what other psychologists or options might be appropriate.

Adults

I also have spent a lot of my time working with adults who are struggling with their emotional well-being and mental health. I absolutely love this work! I love helping people understand how their emotions, thinking, and actions/behaviour patterns are contributing to keeping their difficulties going, and how they can learn new ways of managing these difficulties that will allow them to live the life that they want.

I work with:

• low mood and depression

• worry, panic, anxiety, OCD, phobia's, social anxiety

• trauma and grief

• mild and emerging eating disorders

• self-harm

• anger issues

• chronic health and pain issues
