Private Family Intervention When Behavioural Difficulties Have Become Complex
From Teencamps-UK to Private Family Intervention
Established in 2008, Teencamps-UK originally provided outdoor camp experiences for young people.
Over the years, my work evolved beyond group camps into increasingly individualised behavioural and family intervention.
Today, my practice is deliberately focused on private interventions for families facing complex behavioural situations involving young males aged 15–25.
The work is intensive, highly personalised and deliberately limited in availability.
Damon Bachegalup
Family Behavioural Consultant
26+ years of experience working directly with young males and their families.
I work privately with families when difficulties involving a young male aged 15–25 have become complex, entrenched or difficult to resolve.
This is not a standard programme, course or group camp.
Each engagement is considered individually and may involve direct work with the family, intensive 1:1 intervention with the young man, residential intervention or work within the family home.
My objective is simple: "to help the family move forward when they have reached a point where they no longer know what to do next".
Discretion Comes First
I work with high-profile individuals and families and maintain strict discretion around all client relationships. I do not publish personal testimonials or identify the families I have worked with. The privacy of those I support is much more important than public endorsement to me.
Private Family Intervention for Young Men 15–25
You May Be Here Because…
Your son’s behaviour has become increasingly difficult to manage and what once felt manageable within the family has become a source of persistent conflict, frustration or concern.
Perhaps there is increasing defiance, withdrawal, disengagement from school or university, a breakdown in communication or a growing loss of parental authority.
You may have tried different approaches, sought professional advice or simply hoped things would improve but they haven’t and you have reached the point where you are asking:
“What do we do now?”
This is often the point at which my private, experienced and directly delivered intervention's can make a significant difference.
The Outcome
The aim is not simply to manage behaviour. It is to create meaningful and sustainable change within the young male and the wider family.
Families working with me can begin to move forward from conflict, uncertainty and repeated breakdowns and head towards:
Typical areas of change may include:
re-engagement with education or purposeful activity; reduced conflict at home; improved communication; clearer boundaries and authority; greater accountability; reduced risk and a more stable family dynamic.
Every family is different, and no outcome can be guaranteed. The work is individually shaped around the circumstances, relationships and challenges each family is facing.
Why Families Choose to Work With Me
When a family is dealing with a young male whose behaviour, relationships or direction have become increasingly difficult, choosing the right person to become involved is an important decision.
I have more than 26 years of experience working directly with young people, families and adults who are experiencing complex behavioural, relational and family difficulties.
My professional background spans youth work, family support, counselling, psychotherapy, mediation and behavioural intervention.
Over the course of my career, I have worked with families dealing with difficulties including school attendance, behaviour at home, conflict, communication, boundaries, parental authority and strained relationships.
In 2008, I established Teencamps-UK, working directly with young people, predominantly young males, through structured programmes combining behavioural support, mentoring, therapeutic work and family involvement. Teencamps-UK has evolved from running camps with young people into the highly specialised private family intervention practice it is today.
That breadth of experience informs my work today.
I do not approach the young male in isolation but consider the wider family dynamic, relationships, communication, expectations, boundaries and authority and how these may be contributing to the situation.
Private Interventions
For families with young males aged 15–25 when conflict, defiance, withdrawal, disengagement or loss of direction has become difficult to resolve through conventional approaches.
Teencamps-UK provides private, intensive and individually structured interventions for families facing complex behavioural situations.

For PAs, Family Offices & Trusted Advisers
When a family requires discreet specialist support, the first approach may come from a PA, family-office professional or trusted adviser rather than the family themselves.
PAs, executive assistants, family-office professionals and other trusted advisers are sometimes the first people asked to identify discreet specialist support for a family member.
I work directly with a limited number of families and can liaise with the appropriate family representative during the initial enquiry process.
All enquiries are treated confidentially and each situation is personally reviewed before a consultation is offered.
A Deliberately Limited Practice
I deliberately work with a very small number of families each year, allowing me to remain personally involved throughout each intervention.
Private interventions typically require an investment of £16,000–£30,000+, depending on the nature, duration and location of the work.
Every enquiry is personally reviewed before a consultation is offered. I only work with families where I believe my involvement is appropriate and where there is a genuine willingness to engage fully with the process.
The initial consultation is £1.200
