"Integrated counselling and coaching with young people"

From  

BACP Children, Young People and Families, March 2019

"Young people seeking help for emotional difficulties may also have to deal with a variety of interrelated issues. These challenges may include, for example, developing career plans, fostering greater autonomy and independence, building new relationships,  and managing pressures from peers and from institutions.  The challenge for counsellors and psychotherapists, then,  is how best to help young people to address together their psychological difficulties, as well as these social and developmental aspects. While counselling for young people has been useful, clients have fed back their preference  for more proactive and goal-focused approaches."
