Counselling for Parents of Tweens & Teens

Practical, supportive counselling in Chichester and online.

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.

Book a 10-minute Booking Check-In Call or get in touch if you'd prefer to send me a message.

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.

Taking the first step

Getting started with counselling can feel like a big step, particularly if you're not quite sure what you need or whether counselling is right for you.

You don't need to have everything figured out before getting in touch. I offer a 10-minute Booking Check-In Call. It's an opportunity to tell me a little about what's happening, ask any initial questions and discuss whether my approach and services might be a good fit.

Book your 10-minute Booking Check-In Call.

If you'd prefer, you can also send me a message through my contact form. Get in touch with Jenny.

I'd be happy to hear from you.
