Our teen counselling gives young people a safe space to work through life's challenges.
What we can help with
What to Expect
Teen counselling is a type of therapy that gives young people a confidential space of their own.
We start with a thorough initial assessment, then work with your teen — and, where helpful, the family — to build a personalised treatment plan. Sessions draw on individual therapy, family therapy, CBT and EMDR, and our approach is warm, supportive, collaborative and trauma-informed. We often use art, games, walks and other creative approaches to make therapy feel safe, fun and engaging, rather than purely talk-based. Sessions are available in person at our Footscray clinic or online across Australia, with fees starting at $180 per session and rates varying by therapist. Some sessions may be eligible for Medicare rebates, and we also work with Open Arms, TAC and WorkCover.
What your teen shares in session stays private — we don't tell parents, teachers or anyone else what's discussed without their permission, except where there's clear evidence that they or someone else may be at risk.
WHY TEENS (AND PARENTS) CHOOSE THE THERAPY HUB
Specialised, evidence-based support that helps teens feel heard, understood and equipped to cope.
Expertise in Adolescent Mental Health
Our therapists specialise in the mental health needs unique to teenagers, with experience supporting anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and self-harm. Every approach is grounded in evidence-based practice, so your teen gets care that actually works.
A Safe, Supportive Environment
We create a safe, non-judgmental space where teens feel free to open up. Our therapists build genuine, trusting relationships — often through art, games, walks and other creative approaches — because that trust is what makes therapy work.
Issues at School & Home
From peer conflict, bullying, isolation and concentration or learning difficulties at school, to sibling conflict, defiance, changing family dynamics or family violence and trauma at home — we help teens navigate the pressures showing up across every part of their world.
Mental & Physical Health
We support teens through anxiety and depression, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence struggles, and changes in sleep, concentration or eating — as well as the emotional impact of physical illness or disability.
Good To Know
Our team includes neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQIA+ affirming practitioners, and we run Connected Teens™, an online parenting program, alongside occasional workshops and events for parents and teens. If your teen is at immediate risk, please contact Kids Helpline on 1800 551 800 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.
