Therapy for Adolescents (11–17)
Specialist therapy for teenagers navigating
the challenges of adolescence.
Adolescence is a period of significant emotional, social and developmental change. Alongside increasing independence, young people often face growing academic pressures, evolving friendships, questions around identity, and heightened expectations.
At Bright Fox, we specialise in supporting adolescents aged 11–17 through this important stage of life.
Therapy provides a safe, confidential and supportive space where young people can better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, develop emotional resilience and build healthier ways of coping.

- Low mood and depression

Therapy or Coaching?
Therapy explores what sits beneath the surface
While coaching helps young people develop confidence, resilience and practical skills, therapy offers a deeper exploration of emotional experiences, relationships and patterns that may be contributing to distress.
Therapy may be the right fit when emotional difficulties are impacting wellbeing, relationships, school or day-to-day life.
