Why people come

A lot changes in these years.

Adolescence brings pressure from study, friendships, social media and growing independence. Young people get time on their own with Dr Stanganelli, and parents are involved in a way that respects their privacy.

  • Low mood or withdrawing from friends
  • Anxiety, panic or school avoidance
  • Worries about eating, weight or body image
  • Self-harm
  • Trouble with attention and study
  • Mood swings that feel extreme
