Group Workshops/Counselling Age 11-17 yrs

I facilitate weekly groups over a six week period with maximum number of 8 participants.

These group based workshops create an ecosystem of positive peer support and reassurance and can help by offering tools and skills to hep with the day to day.

​

They offer a safe space for this age group to

• Address their concerns and be heard 

• Learn interpersonal skills

• Resist negative peer pressure

• Encourage self expression

• Develop emotional assertiveness

• Grow their social confidence

• Improve communication skills

• Help improve relationships 

• Reduce stress

 

Groups will be created taking into account the preference of the individual in regards to age, gender and main presenting issue. 

​

Themes include - bullying, study skills, body image, self awareness, peer relationships, conflict resolution, anxiety, identity conflicts etc.

​

Firm boundaries are established from the outset that include a contract stating confidentiality, no teasing/mocking, listening with respect, accepting differences in opinion & expectations.

​

A pack of helpful handouts will be provided.
