Benefits of the service

Adolescents and young adults may benefit from their own, direct, specific therapy. This may involve attachment focused approaches such as cognitive analytic therapy which focuses on understanding how early attachment experiences impacts upon current relationships, and how strategies that started out as survival mechanisms, may now have become unhelpful relationship patterns. Cognitive behavioural therapy may also be helpful for some young people to understand how thoughts and feelings impact upon behaviour.

Other therapies such as yoga therapy can also be beneficial for young people, to learn ways of managing emotions, and enhance self care. Creative approaches such as drama therapy can help young people to express how they are feeling.
