Reasons to reach out
Growing up can be difficult — and it does not have to be faced alone
A teenager may not always be able to explain what is happening. Support can begin with a non-judgemental conversation.
Self-esteem and identity
Dissatisfaction with oneself, comparison, shame or the feeling that something is wrong with me.
School and motivation
Loss of interest, procrastination, fear of failure, exams or conflict between expectations and personal wishes.
Peer relationships
Loneliness, bullying, conflict, rejection or difficulty building safe relationships.
Family relationships
Frequent arguments, distance, loss of trust and a sense of not being heard.
Choice and growing up
Questions of independence, responsibility, future education and professional direction.
A teenager needs not only boundaries, but an adult who can remain present without judgement.
The process
How counselling is organised
Initial contact with a parent
The adult briefly describes the situation and practical details are agreed.
Meeting the teenager
Irina explains confidentiality and creates a space where the teenager can speak freely.
Shared framework
The boundaries of parental feedback are discussed in advance while protecting the teenager’s privacy.
Ongoing support
The pace is reviewed as the situation and the teenager’s needs become clearer.
Irina Romanova

Questions about the format
Before the first meeting
Can parents receive feedback?
Yes, within an agreed ethical framework. The teenager’s personal information remains confidential unless safety is at risk.
Can sessions be online?
Yes, when online work is appropriate for the teenager’s age and situation.
What if the teenager does not want counselling?
Pressure rarely helps. The first contact can focus on expectations, concerns and whether a working alliance is possible.
How is the fee agreed?
Format and fee are discussed with the parent before the first meeting.
Contact
You can start with a simple message.
Write to Irina to discuss your situation, format, fee and a suitable time. All terms are agreed before the first appointment.
