Individual Therapy & Mentoring: Empowering Geelong Teens

Emotional regulation refers to the ability to manage and respond to emotional experiences in a healthy, adaptive way. It’s a crucial skill for Geelong teens to develop, as it helps them navigate the challenges of adolescence, build resilience, and lay the foundation for lifelong mental wellness.

At Shake Counselling, we offer a unique, activity-based approach to individual therapy that sets us apart from other providers in Geelong. By combining evidence-based techniques like DBT and ACT with engaging activities like sports, art, and outdoor adventures, we create a safe, non-traditional environment where teens can develop emotional regulation skills in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to them.

In an individual therapy session at Shake Counselling, Geelong teens can expect a welcoming, non-judgmental environment tailored to their unique needs and interests. They’ll work one-on-one with a compassionate therapist to learn and practice emotional regulation skills, engage in activities that reinforce the skills, and process their experiences to develop strategies for applying the skills in their daily life.

Through individual therapy at Shake Counselling, Geelong teens learn a range of emotional regulation skills, including:

• Identifying and understanding their emotions
• Using practical strategies for managing intense or overwhelming feelings
• Developing mindfulness and self-awareness
• Building distress tolerance and emotional resilience
• Practicing effective communication and interpersonal skills
