 At Boost Psychology, we understand that young people today face a wide range of emotional, social, and behavioural challenges — often at a time in life when they are still learning how to express and understand their feelings. Adolescence can be a period of rapid change, uncertainty, and pressure, and it’s not uncommon for teens to struggle with anxiety, low mood, identity issues, school stress, family conflict, or peer relationships.

We’re here to help.

Our therapists provide compassionate, age-appropriate counselling for children and adolescents aged 12 to 18, offering a supportive and safe environment where they can talk openly and feel heard without judgement.

We offer therapy to assist with a wide range of concerns, including:

• Anxiety and worry
•  Low mood and depression
•  School-related stress or disengagement
•  Peer and friendship difficulties
•  Family conflict and communication issues
•  Identity, gender, and self-esteem concern 
• Bullying and cyberbullying
•  Grief and loss
•  Behavioural challenges
•  Emotional regulation difficulties
•  Self-harm and suicidal thoughts (early intervention and safety planning)
   

Our approach is collaborative and tailored, working not only with the young person but also involving parents or caregivers where appropriate — always with respect for the young person's confidentiality and autonomy.

At Boost Psychology, we support couples through the challenges and changes that relationships can bring. Whether you're facing ongoing conflict, communication issues, or simply looking to strengthen your connection, relationship therapy can provide the tools and insight needed to move forward — together.

A neutral, trained therapist offers a safe space for both partners to:

• Communicate more effectively
•  Understand each other's perspectives
•  Resolve conflict with respect
•  Rebuild trust and connection
   

Our tailored approach helps couples navigate a wide range of concerns, including:

• Communication breakdowns and persistent arguments
• Emotional distance or disconnection
• Infidelity or breaches of trust
• Parenting disagreements or family stress
• Intimacy and sexual concerns
• Financial or career-related tension
• Cultural or value-based differences
• Jealousy, insecurity, and trust issues
• Separation, divorce, or uncertainty about the future
   

Therapy can be a valuable step toward healing, clarity, and renewed closeness — whether you're rebuilding or growing stronger together.
