For Teens

This page is for teens who are dealing with an international move, whether you’re preparing for one, in the middle of one, or already past it.

​

You might have been sent this link, or found it yourself. Either way, reading this doesn’t mean you’ve agreed to anything. 

​

Sessions are conversations. We'll just talk about what’s been happening and whatever feels relevant that day. It might be school, friendships, family things, or something that doesn’t seem obviously connected to the move.

​

There’s nothing you have to prepare beforehand unless you want to. You don’t need a clear problem. If something feels off but you can’t explain it properly yet, that’s fine. We can take it from there.

​

Sometimes we look at practical things, like how to handle a situation, what to say to someone, or what might make something easier. Other times it’s just useful to say things out loud instead of keeping everything in your head. 

​

What you say isn’t automatically shared with your parents. If there’s a serious safety concern, that’s different. Otherwise, conversations stay private. When your parents are involved, it’s usually in a general way, rather than a detailed report of what you said.

​

The focus is on understanding what’s going on for you and helping you decide what you want to do with it. This isn’t about managing you or fixing you — I am clear with your parents about that. 

​

If you’re under 16, a parent needs to agree before we begin. If you’re 16 or older, you can contact me yourself, and we’ll talk about how your parents are involved.

​

If you’re unsure, you can try one session and see what you think. You can also send me a message through the contact form and I’ll reply.
