Teen Therapy
Teen therapy supports adolescents who are facing anxiety, withdrawal, conflict, school strain, loss, trauma, family change or emotional overwhelm. The work creates a safe space for the teen's experience to be understood while parents are guided with care where appropriate.
Emotional support, practical coping and family understanding.
Adolescent support
Adolescence can bring emotional intensity, changing relationships, pressure at school, family conflict and a strong need for independence. When a teen is struggling, the signs are not always straightforward.
Ligpunt offers a child-centred and family-aware therapeutic space where the teen's experience can be taken seriously, patterns can be understood and practical ways forward can begin to form.
Support may be needed when emotional, behavioural or adjustment concerns begin affecting a teen's wellbeing, relationships, school life or daily functioning.
Worry, panic, pressure, emotional intensity or difficulty settling.
Pulling away, low motivation, loneliness or changes in mood.
Outbursts, defiance, family strain or relationship tension.
Learning stress, peer difficulties, behaviour at school or adjustment pressure.
Divorce, relocation, bereavement, blended-family adjustment or instability.
Support after painful, confusing or overwhelming events.
