Support for emotional wellbeing during important years of change
Growing up can be challenging. Young people often face pressures linked to school, friendships, identity, family relationships, social media, and expectations about the future. At times, these experiences can feel overwhelming, confusing, or isolating.
At Cherry Tree Therapy Centre in Henley-on-Thames, we offer counselling for young people who are struggling with their emotions or finding it hard to cope. We also support parents and carers who are concerned about a young person’s wellbeing and want thoughtful, professional support in place.
Our work with young people is age-appropriate, gentle, and supportive. We understand that it can be difficult for young people to talk openly, particularly if they’re unsure how they feel or worried about being judged.
Counselling offers a confidential space where young people can explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. Therapists work carefully to build trust and help young people develop understanding, emotional awareness, and practical coping strategies that support everyday life.
Where appropriate, we also work thoughtfully with parents or carers, always keeping the young person’s wellbeing and confidentiality at the centre of the work.
You can expect:
We work with children and young people of different ages, and take care to match each young person with a therapist experienced in age-appropriate work.
Counselling can support young people with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, friendship or family difficulties, school-related stress, identity concerns, and emotional regulation, among other challenges.
Usually, but this depends on the age of the young person and their individual needs. We balance confidentiality with appropriate parental involvement, always prioritising the young person’s wellbeing.
No. Many young people come to counselling because something doesn’t feel right, even if they can’t explain why. Therapy can help them explore this safely.
Yes. Counselling sessions are confidential and follow professional ethical guidelines. Any limits to confidentiality will be explained clearly at the outset.
Yes. While our centre is based in Henley-on-Thames, we regularly support young people who travel from surrounding villages such as Marlow, Shiplake, Twyford, Sonning, Wargrave, Nettlebed, and nearby areas. Online sessions may also be available where appropriate.
If you’re unsure whether travelling or online support would work best for your child, we’re happy to talk this through and help you decide.
