My therapeutic approach in working with adolescents encompasses addressing various challenges they may encounter. This involves assisting them in navigating the transition from primary school to secondary school, adapting to significant changes, and establishing their position among their peers. Providing the necessary support and guidance during this formative development period is crucial. As a therapist, I aim to aid children transitioning to adolescence by offering support and guidance as they navigate the challenges of this phase. I can help address issues related to transitioning from primary to secondary school, such as adjusting to different school environments without familiar peers, coping with bullying, integrating with new peers, and fostering self-esteem and self-confidence. Additionally, I can assist children in developing coping strategies, building resilience, and enhancing their emotional well-being during this critical period of growth.
