Autumn blues in teens: more than just being moody
In online sessions we give young people space to describe their inner weather without jokes or eye-rolling. We talk about sleep, energy, appetite and thoughts that appear when they are alone at night. Together we look for early signs that their system is sliding from tiredness into depression or burnout. We also explore small steps that can lift their mood, such as adjusting routines, movement or screen habits. Parents receive guidance on how to respond to low mood without minimising it or panicking. If your teen seems flat, withdrawn or unusually sharp with everyone, online therapy can help clarify what is really going on beneath the surface.
