Teenage Stress and Anxiety
Stress and anxiety are common in the teenage years. New experiences, exams, social media, and independence can all raise the volume. When worry stays high, interferes with sleep or school, or starts to run the household, clinical hypnotherapy can help with the automatic pattern.
