There is no denying the world is changing at a rate that many struggle to keep up with. This can leave you feeling confused and uncertain about where you fit in or what your role is.
Counselling can provide you with the time and space to take a step back from everyday life and the pressures that can bring and leave you feeling like you are losing sight of who you. It can help you talk and explore your own views, thoughts, and feelings. Counselling gives you the time to be you, without judgement and in confidence.
Social media has given everyone a platform to share their views, ideas and beliefs that can be very persuasive.
Peer pressure: having the right clothes, the right phone, the right friends, to name a few.

Education can be challenging for some, the hustle and bustle of so many people in one place at the same time. The rules that schools enforce such as uniforms, no phone and time boundaries accompanied by the pressures of exams can feel overwhelming.
Puberty can also provide its own challenges, and for some leave them questioning their own identity.
A diagnosis of physical condition or mental health disorder can also be difficult to understand and accept.
