Dr Hayley Watson

Parenting teens can be a minefield, and there is nothing worse than watching your adolescent struggle in ways that become too difficult to manage or support. I have been working with teenagers and their families for 15 years, helping them move from crises of all forms to a place where they are flourishing, engaged, and connected. In sessions I draw on my extensive background in developing youth interventions all over the world, 11 years of university training, and my own personal long-term mindfulness and yoga practices. My focus is helping families create a culture of emotional awareness that leads to deep joy and empowerment. I specialise in helping adolescents, parents, and families in managing crises and overcoming challenges to get their lives back on track. I support young people and their families facing issues such as low self-esteem, bullying/friendship struggles, school issues, trauma, body image, divorce, and diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar. I am passionate about supporting young people and their families, and do so in a variety of ways – through therapy sessions, free resources on my Youtube channel, and my documentary-video based high school mental health curriculum program that is running in classrooms worldwide. I look forward to helping you and your family achieve your fullest potential!
