Hi, I’m Clare Cogan.
You’ve probably found your way here because your young person is struggling with their emotional health. This may be showing up as anxiety, low mood, lack of motivation or even anger. They may also have had a recent diagnosis of Autism or ADHD.
As a parent of teenagers, including a neurodiverse young person, I understand the difficulties this can bring up when you don’t know what you can do to help, and how powerless you can feel.
No parent should be expected to understand and navigate this journey alone. There are so many narratives out there about what it means to be a young person living in today’s society, which can be confusing and overwhelming.
Using my Teen Triangle Framework, which focuses on the physical, emotional and energetic, together we can identify and map a way forward to support you all.
It’s not just about your young person, it’s about you too, to support you, support your teen.
I can work with just your teenager or both of you together, whichever you agree works best.
My sessions with you are an hour long and are designed to introduce long-lasting tools and techniques to address the issues which you or your teen may be facing, so they can be applied in everyday life.
Many parents blame themselves for things they have or haven’t done when parenting teens, especially during challenging times. We spend so much time searching for the reasons why our teens may be feeling or acting the way they do.
I offer 1:1 support for parents: listening, guiding and reassuring in a safe, confidential space. I support you to support your teen.
If you’re looking for help with something that isn’t anxiety, but you’re wondering if hypnotherapy can help you, then I may be able to help and offer guidance on ways to deal with these concerns through this therapy.
My aim is to make my tools and techniques as accessible as possible to as many people as I can. I have developed some short, manageable online programs to introduce you to an understanding of the brain, both teenager and adult and how it can impact on our mood and behaviour
