Welcome to Changing Tides Youth Counselling

Finding the right support for your child, teen or young person can feel overwhelming. Changing Tides Youth Counselling is a private counselling practice in Wollongong providing supportive, developmentally appropriate counselling for children, teenagers and young adults.

Counselling is tailored to the young person in front of us — their personality, needs, strengths and stage of life — rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

We can support young people experiencing:

• Anxiety, worry and overthinking
• Low mood and difficulties coping
• Emotional regulation and managing strong emotions
• Self-esteem and confidence
• School stress and challenges
• Friendship, relationship and family difficulties
• ADHD, ASD and neurodivergence
• Identity, independence and life transitions
• Stress, overwhelm and everyday challenges

For young people, feeling comfortable with their counsellor matters. Sessions are warm, relaxed and collaborative, with practical strategies woven into conversations and activities in ways that suit each individual.

Parent and carer support is also available, helping families better understand what may be happening for their young person and find practical ways to support them at home.
