Teen intake forms

Teen intake forms can be completed in two ways: parent and teen sit down and fill it in together, or the parent creates a separate teen link protected by a PIN so the teenager completes it on their own. Both approaches give the practitioner what they need. Choose whichever suits your family.

Option 1: complete it together

Open the intake form from your email or the member portal and work through the questions with your teen. This works well for younger teens, or where the issue is something you've already talked about openly as a family.

Option 2: a private teen link with a PIN

Some teenagers answer more honestly when a parent isn't reading over their shoulder. As the parent, you can create a teen link with a PIN. Your teen opens the link, enters the PIN, and completes their form privately. Honest answers matter because the practitioner reads the form before creating the session. Candid input leads to better-targeted work.

Where teen forms fit

Teen forms are one of the age-specific versions of our intake forms, for the full picture of adult, child and teen forms and when each applies, see intake forms explained. Bookings for anyone under 18 are made by a parent or guardian; booking for a child or teen explains that process, and ages and consent covers the age rules.

Common questions

Q: My teen doesn't want me to see their answers. Is that okay? A: Yes. Create a teen link with a PIN and they can complete the form privately. Their practitioner reads the answers; you don't have to.

Q: Can we fill it in together instead? A: Absolutely. Completing the form together is equally valid: many families do it this way, especially with younger teens.

Q: Who books the appointment, me or my teenager? A: A parent or guardian makes the booking for clients under 18. The intake form then follows, completed together or via the PIN link.
