"The objective is not simply to manage behaviour. It is to change the dynamic and give the family a sustainable way forward". Damon

Personally delivered by Damon Bachegalup for families facing complex, entrenched behavioural and family difficulties in the UK and internationally.

26+ Years of Direct Experience

Damon has spent more than 26 years working directly with young people, families, behaviour, relationships and intervention.

His experience spans youth work, family intervention, mediation, psychotherapy, behavioural work and director of a counselling service within the mental-health sector.

That experience informs the highly specialised private family work he provides today.

Discretion Comes First

I work with high-profile individuals and families and maintain strict discretion around all client relationships. I do not publish testimonials or identify families I have worked with. The privacy of those I support is more important than public endorsement.

Private Behavioural Interventions for Families with Young Men Aged 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 a private, experienced and directly delivered intervention 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 man and the wider family.

Through working with Damon, families can begin to move from conflict, uncertainty and repeated breakdowns towards:

  • Greater stability at home

  • Improved communication and understanding

  • Clearer boundaries, expectations and parental authority

  • Greater accountability and personal responsibility

  • Re-engagement with education, work or future direction

  • Reduced conflict and more constructive family relationships

  • A clearer sense of direction for the young man

  • Greater confidence in the family’s ability to move forward

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.

The objective is simple: to help the family move forward when they have reached a point where they no longer know what to do next.

Why Families Choose to Work With Damon

When a family is dealing with a young man whose behaviour, relationships or direction have become increasingly difficult, choosing the right person to become involved is an important decision.

Damon Bachegalup has more than 26 years' experience working directly with young people, families and adults experiencing complex behavioural, relational and family difficulties.

His professional background spans youth work, family support, counselling, psychotherapy, mediation and behavioural intervention.

Over the course of his career, Damon has worked with families dealing with difficulties including school attendance, behaviour at home, conflict, communication, boundaries, parental authority and strained relationships.

In 2008, he established TeenCamps-UK, working directly with young people, predominantly young males, through structured programmes combining behavioural support, mentoring, therapeutic work and family involvement.

That breadth of experience informs his work today.

Damon does not approach the young man in isolation. He considers the wider family dynamic, relationships, communication, expectations, boundaries and authority and how these may be contributing to the situation.

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.

Damon works 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 work with a deliberately limited number of families who are prepared to make a significant investment in resolving complex family difficulties.

This is intensive, highly personal work and meaningful change requires commitment from the family as well as a willingness to invest in the process.

I therefore only consider families for whom this level of engagement is appropriate, realistic and genuinely valued.
