At Zen Life Counselling we have a strong passion for working with teenagers. Nez strongly resonates with young individuals who are facing vulnerability and feelings of darkness.

A therapist must have special knowledge and training to provide therapeutic interventions that take a teen’s developmental phase into account. Nez absolutely loves working with teens and finds that as a younger therapist she is able to connect with teens and meet them on their level. To build trust in a relationship with a teenager, it’s important to find ways to connect with them and relate to them using their own experiences. Nez has a broad range of interests that help her connect with teens on their level, including music and her own personal story.

At Zen Life Counselling we can help put the challenges your teen or family may be facing into perspective, and offer you fresh solutions you may not have previously considered. As an experienced Teen Therapist Nez can assist you in finding solutions to problems at home or at school, and teach your teen the skills they need to thrive.

It is vital that parents understand their teen’s behaviour rather than simply react to it. At Zen Life Counselling we help parents get the whole picture of what’s going on in your teen's mind, as well as the developmental changes that occur during adolescence.

At Zen Life Counselling we work with children aged 3 to 11 using play as a communication tool to understand their world and to help them deal with emotional distress and trauma. Nez helps children and their families work through difficult life issues and experiences, including:

• abuse and neglect
• bereavement
• divorce and family separations
• learning difficulties
• psychological problems
• traumatic experiences and violence

Complex issues cannot be treated in the same way as with adults or teens. At Zen Life Counselling we understand the nature of how children express themselves and their understanding of the world using play.
