Adolescence can be a difficult time for the child and parent. with my 
children, there were times when it was hard to know that we would survive it all. I am happy to say we did and I am a better all-rounded human being because of it. I do work with teenagers with sleep problems but tend to see other issues them with families( parent/s).
We know that: ( Key data on adolescence 2013 shows life has really got worse for teenagers)
Adolescence Mental Health Statistics
- Half of all lifetime cases of psychiatric disorders start at the age of 14 and three-quarters by the age of 24
You may enjoy this time, 
but for most parents, these years can be tough. You may not enjoy your child’s moods and simply feel that you “Get it wrong most of the time” This can feel hurtful and undermining at the same time.
Adolescent Difficulties I work with:

- Self-harm ( check out my blog post for some tips)
- Eating Problems
- Behaviour Problems at School and home
- Anxiety
- Download a free mindfulness exercise to help your teen feel calm
Your teenager may seek help if they feel they are seen within the family, even if they refuse to attend, you may think that by attending your parenting will be judged or relationships will deteriorate.
