psychotherapy for adolescents

With my support I believe you can become the best possible version of yourself and move forward in life.

aRE YOU CONSIDERING THERAPY?

I believe therapy can help if you answer ‘yes’ to any of the following questions:

Are you experiencing distressing and overwhelming feelings, or struggling to cope?
Do you feel down, unsure what to do, or lacking in motivation?
Have you noticed your energy levels are low?
Do you struggle to think straight or remember things?
Have you found life difficult – daily tasks deplete all your energy?
Have you been impacted by Covid19 directly or indirectly?
Have you experienced any traumatic events – past or present?
Are you having difficulty sleeping, or getting on with the people around you?
Are you worried about exams, the next step, your future?

HOW THERAPY CAN HELP YOU

A good sense of overall well-being is necessary for you to function in your daily life.

With my help, I believe you can find effective ways to significantly reduce your symptoms.
With my support, I believe you can move forward in your life once again and grow.
With my expertise, I believe you can become the best possible version of yourself.
Together we will use your inner healing capacity, strength, and resilience so you can live a meaningful life.

WHAT KIND OF THERAPY IS AVAILABLE?

I offer talking therapy with the use of art and play materials, when appropriate, as well as Attachment Informed EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) for trauma therapy. This is an experiential therapy. Please visit my EMDR Therapy page for more information.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

My experience of EMDR with Evergreen Psychotherapy has been nothing short of transformative. Through my work with Jette, I was able to face my troubles head on and reclaim my peace. Therapy has helped me to move on from the place I was stuck in, and I would highly recommend Jette as a brilliant practitioner to guide anyone through the therapy process.
Female, 20s - Online Psychotherapy
I struggled with anxiety and depression and found it very difficult to concentrate on my school work. Jette helped me with exercises to control my feelings and understand why I was struggling. I found Jette really listened to me and she is kind, professional and supportive. I would be happy to see her again.
John, 17
Jette is an amazing psychotherapist. She is very easy to talk to due to her welcoming and calm presence. I found the EMDR therapy particularly useful; it helped me move on from the past and change my outlook on life. Jette has helped me become a happier and more positive person as well as giving me great tools and techniques to help throughout the rest of my life. I would really recommend her to anyone. She has completely changed my view on therapy for the better.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

When we meet, we will first establish that there is a good connection between us. ‘Does it feel right?’ This is necessary for any progress or therapeutic change to take place.

I will undertake a detailed psychotherapeutic assessment which may take a few sessions. After this, I will offer my professional opinion on which therapy path will be the most beneficial for your needs and expectations. Of course, you can ask any questions at any point throughout the process.

In the unlikely event that I am unable to provide therapy to you, I will do my best to help with alternative options.

WHAT IS A THERAPY SESSION LIKE?

During our sessions, I focus on you as a whole person including your body, your emotions, your thoughts, and your behaviours, all in an explorative way. I also consider the whole of you in relation to the other significant people in your life such as family members, friends and associates in school or work.

In addition to talking about your difficulties, we may sometimes use art and play materials to understand your distress and support you in moving forward to feeling better.

HOW LONG IS THERAPY?

I offer weekly sessions. Psychotherapy and counselling sessions are 50 minutes long and EMDR sessions can last up to 90 minutes.

The length of your therapy will greatly depend on the severity and length of your distress.

Please email or call me to arrange a confidential conversation without obligation.

IS THERAPY CONFIDENTIAL?

Yes, therapy is confidential! However, if you are under 18 years of age, I will require consent from a parent or legal guardian.

Our sessions are confidential as are my dealings with your parents. I stick to confidential boundaries and do not share any details unless it is otherwise agreed upon first.

You do need to know that I have a duty of care and safeguarding towards you. This means if you tell me you or someone else is in danger of serious harm, I have a duty to report this. For more information, please see my Privacy Policy.

REVIEW AND ENDINGS

We will continue to review our therapeutic progress at suitable intervals, and if agreed, I will review with your parents too.

Endings are important. You can end any time you wish, but we will need to agree some time to complete our work. Ending therapy might take a few sessions. This is to ensure that you are not left in a vulnerable place. I suggest a minimum of 3 sessions to work through our ending together and say goodbye.

ASSESSMENT AND WORKING AGREEMENT

Before psychotherapy or EMDR can take place, I will send you my working agreement and my privacy statement. These documents must be completed and signed and will ensure that we work together safely and ethically. If you are under the age of 18, your parent/s or legal guardian will also need to give their consent and agreement to the therapy.
