Teens and Adolescents Therapy With Khushnaaz Noras

Do you get into repeated arguments, or feel as though your rules go in one ear and go out the other. Do you feel your child is angry, anxious, defiant, or just shutting down?

If so I can help.

We all wish for our children to thrive, however adolescence brings its own challenges as teens navigate through neurobiological changes, the pressure of school, exams, and relationships. It’s no surprise they often struggle with mood swings, anxiety or depression. Often, a child’s behaviour is not what you see on the surface. Dismissing it as “just a phase” can lead to deeper issues, that can last into adulthood.

I can help look beneath the surface to create a real change. I specialise in working with adolescents and young adults, informed by both my professional training and my personal experience as a mum to a pre-teen.

How My Results
Driven Approach Can Help

With extensive experience supporting teens, I’ve found what really helps is ‘clicking’ with this age group. I get their world. I’m in it with them, listening without filters, speaking their lingo, using play, story-telling, creative work and talk, to help them express their thoughts and feelings in a way that is comfortable and natural for them. 

Using evidence-based therapeutic models, I provide teens and adolescents with a safe space to open up, alongside practical tools to build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies and navigate the challenges they’re facing.

This process isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about going beneath the surface level behaviour and helping your child make meaningful, lasting change.

What You Can Expect

In one-to-one therapy, I offer your child a safe, consistent space where they can feel truly heard. I can support with a wide range of challenges including anxiety, low mood, anger, defiance, self-esteem issues, school pressures, relationship difficulties, and parent-child conflict.

I don’t give advice or impose solutions, I just help them open up, explore their thoughts and feelings, develop emotional awareness and build confidence to make positive, independent choices.

I also support parents, to strengthen communication and understanding at home.

Why This Works

My approach is grounded in science and draws from a range of therapeutic methods - CBT, REBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, to NLP, mindfulness and breath-work. I blend insights and provide practical tools known for helping your child with managing anxiety, navigating relationships, or building self-worth. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, just what actually works for your child.

Common Questions About Teen & Adolescent Counselling

    • Teens and young adults often struggle to express their feelings verbally, instead display distress through behaviour. Some of the key signs include:

      - Excessive sadness
      - Fears or worries
      - Dramatic and sudden mood changes
      - Declining grades
      - Reluctance to attend school
      - Difficulty interacting with peers

      Teens and adolescents, like adults, have daily stressors in their lives. These changes in behaviour could be caused by anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or even ADHD.

      If you notice these signs in your child, it might be time to consider therapy.

  • I am skilled at engaging reluctant teens, speaking their lingo and creating an environment where they feel comfortable opening up at their own pace.

  • Absolutely. I create a confidential space where teens can speak freely, while maintaining essential safety and ethical protocols. This builds the trust necessary for effective therapy with teenagers and adolescents.
