Sound familiar 👇🏻

Your teen says they’re “not worried” about exams…but you can see the signs.

Do you bring it up - or leave it?

😎 Bringing it up might shut them down or cause an argument… and you’ve had a lovely weekend, you don’t want to ruin it.

🤔 But if you leave it, you know it might all hit in a few weeks when the first exam is looming…

😟 And if they don’t revise, what if they don’t get the grades for college or sixth form?

😤 They need to do something - they’ve not revised all Easter…

😌 But you can’t have another argument about this, they will just need to learn the hard way….

😖 Except you know how upset they’ll be if it doesn’t go how they need it to…

Exam season is very nearly here and so many parents are having this very battle.
Let me help you with real tools and techniques that build motivation for exams and protect your teen’s mental health.

One-off, 60-min personalised sessions for you or your teen to attend, written plan and follow up call 👇🏻

Parenting a teenager can feel emotionally relentless.

But when your teen is struggling with their mental health, it’s a different kind of weight.

You lie awake replaying conversations.
You watch for changes in mood.
You question whether you said the wrong thing.
You wonder if you’re doing enough.

That constant undercurrent of worry is exhausting.

Whether it’s anxiety, low mood, avoidance or emotional shutdown - not knowing how to respond can make everything feel bigger.

I’ve created this session to give you practical tools you can use immediately so that you feel calm in the moment instead of panicked.

So that you know what to say.
So that evenings don’t escalate.
So that you stop replaying conversations at bedtime.
So that you can support your teen without carrying it all in your own body.

I’m a teen and family psychotherapist, and this is about helping you feel steady and able to cope - even when things are hard.

No waffle.
No ‘self-care’ advice.
Just real techniques that work in real moments.
