Help for my Teenager.
Help for my Teenager. My name is Damon Bachegalup BA (Hons), Dip (Couns)L7, L6 mediator, Teen Behavioural Consultant, Psychotherapist, Supervisor and Author.

Prior to becoming a Counsellor, I was a HGV truck driver and a doorman working in and around Manchester for 12 years (and I got up to very bad things in the 1990’s).
In 2006 I watched a TV programme called "Brat Camp” on Channel 4 where teenagers from the UK went to the USA to attend camps for their bad behaviour. I decided that that was what I wanted to do, so I researched and found there were none in the UK.
I am passionate about helping families, teenagers and young adults because, I was that difficult teenager and has a parent I have had a difficult teenager. I use a mixture of therapeutic approaches, my own life experience, mentoring and mediation skills to identity what will work best for the teenagers as I truly believe that one size does not fit all. After identifying a lack of specialist help and support for teens, parents and families, in the UK and internationally.
" Have just spoken to my son and wow what a transformation already! I know it’s early days, but he is coming across a lot more positive, happier and his skin is looking much better. Thank you both so very much for everything. Apparently you are also both amazing chefs x I will reiterate again and thank you both from the bottom of my heart for all you’ve done and are doing" x Eliza
The answer to the question?
YES, I can help your family and teen.
Parenting advice and tips
As we know, unfortunately, teens/ young adults do not come with an in-depth instruction manual which can be used to refer to from time to time and at times of challenging behaviour. Our young people could best be described as "good children who are making bad decisions and choices".
