Teenage therapy is a safe space for young people to talk about what they are going through with a trained therapist. Sessions focus on helping teens understand their thoughts, emotions and behaviours, while giving them practical tools to cope with stress, anxiety, school pressure, friendships and family issues. At Fettle, sessions are online, private and designed to feel relaxed, not intimidating.
Teen therapy can support anxiety, stress, low mood, confidence issues, social pressure, school burnout, ADHD, emotional regulation, identity concerns, and challenges at home or with friends. It is also helpful for teens who are simply feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to express what is going on.
Yes, online therapy is extremely effective for teens—many even prefer it. Being able to talk from their own space helps them feel more comfortable opening up. Video sessions work just like in-person therapy, but are easier to fit around school, sports and busy family schedules.
Not always. For younger teens, a parent will join the first session. For older teens, sessions are usually one-to-one. Therapists will always keep parents informed about overall progress while still respecting the teen's privacy and confidentiality.
Sessions usually involve chatting about what the teen has been dealing with, exploring emotions, learning coping skills and working through any stress or challenges. It is relaxed, supportive and designed to help teens feel understood—no pressure, no judgment.
Signs can include ongoing anxiety, mood changes, isolation, irritability, difficulties at school, emotional overwhelm, sleep issues, low motivation or struggles with friendships. But many teens benefit from therapy even without a clear problem—sometimes they just need someone neutral to talk to.
Yes. Teens get privacy in sessions, but therapists will always break confidentiality if there is any risk of harm. Otherwise, the focus is on helping the teen feel safe to share openly while keeping parents appropriately informed.
Definitely. Therapy can help teens build confidence, learn emotional regulation skills, manage overwhelm, develop routines and improve communication. At Fettle, we also offer assessments and specialised support for ADHD and autism.
It depends on the teen's needs. Some benefit from short-term support (6–8 sessions), while others choose ongoing therapy for consistent emotional support. Your therapist will recommend a plan that fits your teenager's situation.
It is easy—book a quick consultation and share a bit about what your teen is experiencing. We will match them with a therapist who specialises in working with young people and fits your schedule, including evenings and weekends.
