mindful counselling for teens
Let's face it, adolescence is undeniably challenging in today's world. With social media, peer pressure, body image issues, and academic stress, it's no wonder that many teenagers struggle with their mental health. That's where mindfulness-based counselling comes in.
Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment and accepting one's thoughts and feelings without judgment. It has been proven to be an effective tool for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. And when combined with counselling techniques specifically tailored for teens, it can have a profound impact on their overall well-being.
So what exactly is mindfulness-based counselling? Essentially, it involves a trained therapist guiding a teen through various mindfulness exercises while also addressing specific issues they may be facing. These exercises can range from simple breathing techniques to mindful movement and self-care practices.
