This training has enabled her to work within the family when working with her adolescent clients. She offers the confidential space for the young person and her therapeutic skill and support with parents and caregivers too. She works from a common sense approach assessing what is needed or missing from the young person’s life experience in order for the young person to meet their developmental potential.

The right therapy, with the right therapist can literally transform a young life and often can transform the family too.

Jennifer Loftus

My approach with both adult and adolescent clients is down to earth and non-judgemental. I believe it can be difficult to make life changes without support. My goal with adolescent clients is to support them to gain awareness and move towards having a life worth living.

As a parent of an adolescent, I know how difficult this role can be. I am also aware that being an adolescent is equally difficult. Having specialised as an adolescent psychotherapist (ages 13+) I have learned that massive developmental changes are occurring in adolescents, which is much more complicated that just “hormones”. I work with both parents and adolescents to come up with ways of lessening anxiety, reducing overwhelming feelings and thoughts, as well as promoting better relationships between the adolescent and their parents.

My qualifications include a Diploma in Counselling and an MSc in Adolescent Psychotherapy. I am fully accredited with the I.A.C.P. and adhere to maintaining professional standards.
