recommendation wanted for counsellor for teenager
Greengage replied to Greengage's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I'd like to thank MickeyMonkey, Redjam and the people that have sent private messages. Really appreciate the advice. Thanks to the forum, I now have a name of someone who works in this area - and am organising for my teen to have an assessment to see what's needed. -
I'm a regular on the forum, but under a new name so as not to identify my teenager. Out of the blue (to the teen's parents, at least) my teenager has self-harmed and says they don't know why they did it. The teen is usually happy, has friends, and is not under any pressure that we are aware of. Although the teen doesn't want any fuss made and says it won't happen again, we would like a recommendation for a service or counsellor who could talk to our teen about coping strategies and/or to unpick why this happened. We would be very grateful for any advice from anyone who has any experience in this area. Thank you
