Young Adults (18yrs-25yrs)

Learning to be a functioning and independent adult can be a lot of pressure. Not only do the expectations rise, so do the responsibilities. This period of life is our first real experience of competing demands - save money or buy clothes? Do exercise or drink beers?

Whether you’re looking for a space to destress and talk it all out; or you’ve done this all before and already have a diagnosis, we’re happy to help. If you’re thinking we’re the right fit, feel free to reach out.*

If you’re unsure whether you need to see someone or not, our blog articles have been created to help you think it through.

*There’s also a bonus - for young adults we offer flexible appointment options. We know that balancing work/study/life can be hard, so we aim to make it easier rather than harder. Want appointments twice a month? Sure. Only want to check in for one appointment every three months? Also fine.

 
 

  • Relationship stress is probably the most common thing that brings people to therapy in young adulthood. And it’s because relationships are H.A.R.D. Whether it be worries about intimate partners, dealing with breakups, struggles with changing family relationships or difficulties with friends, we cover it all.

  • Competing demands suck, and often we can get totally burnt out by life without even realising it.

    Often the warning signs are the things you’ve been ignoring e.g., irritability, moodiness, withdrawal from friends, or fun things suddenly feeling like chores.

    Could also be called adjustment disorder, depression, anxiety or stress.

    We often write about coping with “life stuff” on our blog. Head over there for some thought provoking ideas.

  • If you’re a young person with a diagnosed mental health disorder we’re happy to help. Our clinician’s have experience in most areas but if we don’t we promise we will send you to someone else we know who does!

    Includes areas like anxiety, depression, bipolar, personality disorders, psychosis, drug or alcohol addiction, chronic pain, PTSD etc.,

  • Maintaining a healthy relationship with food, exercise and our bodies in early adulthood can be difficult for two* reasons. Reason one: society. Reason two: because suddenly you’re independent. You now run your own life, making all the decisions with no one closely watching. Sometimes this means habits can spiral. Long standing insecurities can ramp up, particularly as life stressors increase.
