Therapy

for Adolescents & Adults (13 years and beyond)

We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all methodology. Instead, we recognise that everyone has their own individual differences, and want to celebrate these differences while challenging individuals to excel further. We will meet individuals at their level and pace. The focus is not purely on teaching skills based on age, but supporting development from ground-up and inside-out.

Therapy for adolescents & adults


Be Your Own Social Communicator

As you approach or navigate adulthood, you will start exploring who you are and communicate that identity to people at home, in school or at work. These years are marked with frequent transitions and changes. You might find it challenging and confusing to navigate through social pressures and expectations while developing your sense of self and independence.

Be empowered to:

  • Initiate interactions
  • Communicate effectively
  • See things from other people’s perspective
  • Resolve conflicts successfully
  • Understand and express your opinions and emotions
  • Work collaboratively with others
  • Make responsible decisions
