Family questions
Before therapy begins
Will parents be told everything discussed?+
Privacy helps teenagers speak honestly. The psychologist will explain what remains private, what may be shared with agreement, and the limits of confidentiality when there are serious safety concerns or legal obligations.
Will parents be involved?+
Parent involvement depends on age, needs, safety and the agreed therapy plan. There may be caregiver discussions while preserving appropriate space for the teenager’s own work.
What if my teenager is reluctant to attend?+
A respectful conversation is the best starting point. You can contact us first to discuss the situation and how to introduce support without presenting therapy as a punishment.
How many sessions will be needed?+
Duration varies according to concerns, goals, engagement and progress. The direction is reviewed collaboratively rather than fixed in advance.
What are the current fees and available times?+
Contact our team for current fees, professional availability and appointment arrangements.
