Young Adult Counselling
19-25 years
Young adulthood can be exciting, confusing, overwhelming and everything in between. Changing Tides provides young adult counselling in Wollongong for people navigating anxiety, low mood, stress, relationships, identity, study or work pressures, family difficulties and major life changes.
Counselling offers a supportive, non-judgemental space to make sense of what’s going on, understand patterns, build practical coping strategies and work towards changes that feel meaningful and manageable.
What can counselling help with?
-
Anxiety can show up as constant worrying, overthinking, panic, perfectionism, avoidance or feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities. Counselling can help you understand what’s driving anxiety, recognise patterns and develop practical ways to manage stress and feel more grounded.
-
Sometimes it can feel hard to get going, enjoy things, make decisions or imagine what comes next. Counselling provides space to explore what may be contributing to low mood or feeling stuck, while working towards small, realistic changes that support wellbeing and direction.
-
Friendships, dating, break-ups, family relationships and changing social circles can all become complicated during young adulthood. Counselling can help you explore relationship patterns, communication, boundaries and what healthy relationships look like for you.
-
Young adulthood often comes with questions about who you are, where you fit and what you want from life. Counselling can support you to explore identity, self-confidence, comparison, self-criticism and the expectations you may be carrying from yourself or others.
-
University, TAFE, work, finances, career decisions and increasing independence can bring a lot of pressure. Counselling can help you manage overwhelm, develop coping strategies, problem-solve challenges and find a more sustainable way of navigating competing demands.
-
Moving out, changing relationships with parents, family conflict, separation, grief, relocation and other major changes can be difficult to navigate. Counselling offers space to process these experiences, understand their impact and work out what you need moving forward.
