Resolving complex teenage behaviour with clarity and confidence
Working discreetly with families across the UK and internationally
Damon Bachegalup
Family & Adolescent Behavioural Consultant
For more than 26 years, Damon has worked directly with families and young people experiencing complex behavioural and family situations. In families of this level, behavioural issues are often managed privately and allowed to develop over time.
Professional Practice
Damon also maintains a separate professional practice through AYP Consulting, reflecting his wider work in psychotherapy, counselling, mediation and supervision.
Background & Perspective
"I did not come through this work purely through theory or academic pathways.
As a young person, I experienced first-hand what it is to struggle within systems that do not always understand behaviour, structure or direction.
That perspective has stayed with me.
Over time, life has placed me on both sides of the family dynamic as a child within it and later as a parent and step-parent navigating it.
This dual perspective informs how I work: with clarity, directness and an understanding of both the young person and the family.
At 40, I returned to education and formal training, building on years of lived experience with structured, professional practice. “I've been there myself.”
I now work with a small number of families each year, applying my Aligned Authority Method™ a structured approach designed to move families from ongoing conflict and uncertainty to stability, alignment and clear parental authority.
Engagements are limited and offered only where a high level of direct, consultant-led intervention is required."
Discreet recognition of complex family work.
Damon’s work is rarely public.
The families he supports value privacy above all else.
However, on occasion elements of this work have been featured in national media to highlight the realities of adolescent behavioural challenges and what effective intervention can achieve when applied with precision, experience and care.
