How our adolescent psychology sessions work

Our adolescent psychology service for Bassendean teenagers begins with an initial assessment, where we meet with you and your teenager to understand their anxiety, mood, and current stressors.

Each session is usually a mix of one‑to‑one time with your teenager and brief check‑ins with you, using evidence-based strategies tailored to adolescent mental health support Bassendean families are seeking.

Across sessions we focus on building practical coping skills, reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns, and gradually increasing your teen’s confidence in managing day‑to‑day challenges.

When to consider professional support

Parents often reach out when a teen’s anxiety or low mood starts to affect school, friendships, sleep, or family life.

You may notice withdrawal from activities, irritability, frequent worry, panic-like symptoms, or ongoing sadness that does not seem to shift with reassurance or time.

If you are unsure whether it is “serious enough”, a consultation with an **adolescent psychologist Bassendean** families can access from our Stirling practice can help you decide next steps.

Concerns we commonly support

• Ongoing anxiety about school, friendships, or everyday situations.
• Persistent low mood and loss of interest in usual activities.
• Stress-related physical symptoms such as headaches or stomach aches.
• Emotional outbursts or shutting down when under pressure.
• Family conflict linked to mood, motivation, or school demands.
