Are you a parent struggling to understand or deal with your teen or young adult? There has been an explosion of mental health issues, from anxiety and depression to diagnoses of adhd and autism, among our young people but very little is heard about the struggles of the parents left trying to cope.

It can be a lonely place…. once your children have grown up aren’t they supposed to ‘fly the nest’, find their feet and live independent productive lives?? Unfortunately for many parents the reality is that their young adults are struggling and they either don’t understand; feel powerless to help or simply don’t know what to do. If they choose to share their difficulties with other family members or friends they can be inundated with well-meaning advice that simply doesn’t help… or maybe they just feel too ashamed to talk about it.

I am running small therapeutic groups from my office near Clapham Common tube. I am offering a safe, supportive and confidential environment where you can off-load about the challenges you are facing and  find support from others dealing with the same problems. Come with partners, or alone….often these situations can have a detrimental effect on the whole of family life and lead to other issues which can add to the stress.  

I will be holding daytime and early evening groups, for up to 10 people. Each one will last for two hours and the cost will be £30 per head. I may also hold an online group if there is demand so please let me know. 

If this sounds like something that could help, email me on tinanewnhamtherapy@gmail.com to register your interest and I will send more information. Also feel free to send me any questions on the same address.
