Counselling for Teens in Worcester | With Sarah MacFarlane
Teenage years can be overwhelming—for both teens and their parents.
With so many changes happening emotionally, socially, and physically, it’s not unusual for teens to feel anxious, low in confidence, misunderstood, or simply stuck. As a qualified integrative counsellor experienced in working with both adolescents and families, I offer a safe, confidential space for teens to talk, process emotions, and build the tools they need to thrive.
Every teen is different, so therapy is always adapted to the individual. I draw on a range of approaches—CBT, BWRT, EMDR, and solution-focused therapy—to support teens with issues such as:
Therapy can help teens make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings, find better coping strategies, and develop a more secure sense of self.
Sessions are designed to feel relaxed, friendly, and collaborative—never clinical or overwhelming. For younger teens, I may include creative or visual tools (like drawing or imagery work). For older teens, the sessions often feel more like open conversation with structure and support woven in.
What to expect:
Sessions are completely confidential unless there’s a safeguarding concern, and I always balance the need for privacy with keeping parents appropriately informed and supported.
As a parent, it can be tough watching your child struggle and not knowing how to help.
Many parents worry they’re doing something wrong or are unsure if therapy is the right step. If you're unsure, I offer a free initial consultation to discuss what’s going on and whether this is the right support.
Depending on the age of your child and their wishes, I may also offer occasional parent check-ins to support the wider family system, without breaking the teen’s confidentiality.
