How Therapy Can Help When You're Feeling Overwhelmed
By Clair Lewoski | Cambridge Therapies
Being a teenager can feel like a rollercoaster. Emotions are intense, friendships are complicated, and it’s easy to feel like no one understands.
Therapy can help.
What Happens in Therapy?
It’s not just talking. We can use drawing, writing, mindfulness, or quiet moments. We might:- Explore what you’re feeling
Find ways to feel less anxious
Help you understand yourself better
Talk about friendships, school stress, or family stuff
Learn to be kinder to yourself (that’s called self-compassion)
Learn how to think about your feelings and other people’s too (that’s called mentalising)
You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just come as you are.
Real Stories (all names and identities changed to protect confidentiality):-
Taylor, 14, was angry a lot and didn’t know why. Therapy helped him understand the sadness underneath—and find better ways to cope.
Amelia, 13, struggled with anxiety and comparing herself to others. We worked on self-compassion and confidence.
How I Can Help:
At Cambridge Therapies, I work with teenagers in a way that feels real, gentle, and safe. We go at your pace, and you’re always in control.
Let’s figure things out together.
