Counselling for Young Adults
Support for life transitions, career pressure and finding your path.
Early adulthood can be an exciting but demanding stage of life. You are making big decisions about your future, building relationships, and managing work or study pressures — all while trying to figure out who you are and what you want from life. It can feel like a lot to carry on your own.
At Your Listening Space, I offer counselling tailored to the needs of young adults — a space to pause, reflect and make sense of what is going on beneath the surface.
A Space to Reflect
and Grow
Counselling offers time to understand yourself better, explore challenges and develop the tools to manage life’s transitions.
Together, we create a calm, supportive environment where you can think more clearly, build confidence and move forward at your own pace.
Common Reasons Young Adults Come to Counselling
Anxiety and overthinking
Learning to manage racing thoughts, worry and the pressure to always stay in control.
Stress or burnout
Finding balance between study, work and personal life before exhaustion takes over.
Pressure to have it all figured out
Easing the weight of expectations and giving space to explore your own pace and direction.
Low self-esteem or confidence
Building self-belief and learning to value yourself beyond achievements or comparisons.
Imposter feelings
Understanding self-doubt and developing confidence in your skills, identity and choices.
People-pleasing and boundaries
Learning to say no, prioritise your needs and create healthy, balanced relationships.
Feeling stuck or directionless
adjusting to new schools, friendships, or family situations.
Relationships and break-ups
Processing emotional pain, communication challenges and changing dynamics with others.
Family pressure or old patterns
Understanding how family expectations or past experiences shape current emotions and behaviour.
Loss of identity or motivation
Reconnecting with what feels meaningful when life feels flat, overwhelming or confusing.
Why Young Adults Choose to Work With Me
Before training as a counsellor, I spent many years working in large corporate organisations supporting people in high-pressure environments.
I understand the demands of early careers — long hours, pressure to perform, and the uncertainty that comes with trying to find your place.
I help with:
-
Career uncertainty and decision-making
-
Workplace anxiety and confidence
-
Feeling overwhelmed or burnt out
-
Balancing ambition and wellbeing
-
Managing expectations — from yourself and others
My approach is grounded, practical and supportive, helping you make sense of your experiences and move forward confidently in a way that suits you.
How We Can Work Together
Sessions are relaxed, supportive and confidential. You will not be judged or told what to do — instead, we explore your thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels right for you.
