Counselling for Parents of Tweens & Teens
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, explore what's happening and consider different ways of approaching the challenges you're facing. Together, we can work towards greater confidence as a parent and a calmer, more connected family life.
Book a 10-minute Booking Check-In Call or get in touch if you'd prefer to send me a message.
Looking for clarity around a specific parenting challenge? My single-session Empower Hour may be a good place to start.

Parenting a tween or teenager isn’t always easy
The tween and teenage years bring plenty of changes, not only for young people but for their parents and carers too.
You might be finding communication more difficult, dealing with more arguments or worrying about your child's friendships, school, mental health or behaviour. Perhaps you're unsure how much freedom to allow, how to manage boundaries or when to step in and when to step back. You may also be feeling exhausted, guilty or as though you're getting everything wrong.
Counselling gives you time and space to focus on what's happening in your family and what might help. We can explore your child's behaviour and emotional responses, look at communication and disagreements, and consider boundaries, expectations and growing independence. There's also space to focus on your own stress, worries and feeling of overwhelm.
My approach combines counselling with practical, solution-focused thinking. Alongside exploring what's difficult, we'll look at what's already working, recognise your existing strengths and consider what might make family life feel more manageable.
Ways to work with me
Ongoing counselling
If you're dealing with ongoing difficulties or would like time to explore things in greater depth, regular counselling offers space to work through what's happening and consider changes over time.
Sessions give you the opportunity to talk about what's on your mind, explore patterns and develop different perspectives on the challenges you're facing.
Empower Hour – single-session therapy
Sometimes you don't need ongoing counselling. You might have a specific situation you'd like to talk through, a decision you're struggling with or a parenting challenge where some focused support would help.
Empower Hour is a 75-minute session focused on one issue. We'll explore what's happening, consider different perspectives and identify practical next steps.
