Practical, supportive counselling in Chichester and online across the UK.
Parenting a tween or teenager can be challenging. Whether you're struggling with communication, conflict, anxiety, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I can help you make sense of what's happening and find a way forward.
I'm Jenny Warwick, a BACP-accredited counsellor with over 14 years' experience specialising in supporting parents and carers of tweens and teenagers.
I offer a space to talk things through, make sense of what's happening and explore different ways of approaching the challenges you're facing. Together, we can work towards feeling more confident as a parent and creating a calmer, more connected family life.

Parenting a tween or teenager isn’t always easy.
The teenage years bring plenty of changes, not just for young people but for their parents and carers too.
Perhaps you're experiencing more arguments, challenging behaviour or emotional ups and downs. Conversations that once felt easy might now end in frustration, or you may find yourself worrying about your child's friendships, school, mental health or the choices they're making.
You might recognise some of these experiences:
- Finding it increasingly difficult to communicate with your child.
- Arguments and disagreements becoming a regular part of family life.
- Worrying about anxiety, low mood, friendships or school pressures.
- Feeling unsure about boundaries, independence and how much freedom to allow.
- Struggling to understand your child's behaviour or emotional reactions.
- Feeling exhausted, guilty or as though you're getting everything wrong.
Sometimes it's difficult to know whether to step in, step back or simply let things unfold.
You don't have to work it all out on your own. Having somewhere to talk openly, explore what's happening and consider different ways forward can make a real difference.
How counselling can help
Counselling gives you time and space to focus on what's happening in your family and how it's affecting you.
You might want to understand your child's behaviour better, find different ways to manage conflict or work out how to respond to a particular situation.
In our sessions, I can help you:
- Make sense of the changes happening during adolescence.
- Explore what might be behind your child's behaviour and emotional responses.
- Look at new ways to communicate and manage disagreements.
- Think about boundaries, expectations and encouraging greater independence.
- Find ways to manage your own stress, worries, and feelings of guilt and overwhelm.
- Feel more confident in your decisions and responses as a parent.
My approach combines counselling with practical, solution-focused thinking. Alongside exploring what's difficult, we'll look at what's already working, your existing strengths and what might help things feel more manageable.
