Counselling young people – Is talking enough I have been working with young people
therapeutically for 3 decades and what I realised early in my career
was that most struggled with counselling being just a talking therapy. What’s the difference in counselling adults and young people? Young people have specific needs when receiving therapy, this is a time in their lives that they are discovering
their own individuality. At this age young people (those aged 11-19) enjoy new experiences ,being creative is often
seen as a positive activity Abstract
thought has developed and this can be incorporated in facilitating them to
process their feelings and thoughts with
using metaphors within the use of creative tools. |
