Parental involvement is highly encouraged in the first session of a teen or child.
The Therapy Hub is a youth and family-inclusive clinic and all our therapists routinely involve parents/carers in therapy with young people, and will discuss this with you at the beginning of therapy.
The set up of sessions will be tailored to you and your young person to be responsive to your needs and comfort. For example, some young people want a parent/carer in for the whole first session, others for the first 15 minutes, and others for the last 10-15 minutes.
It is a common space for there to be sessions in which your young person is seen alone, and for parents/carers to join for a portion of some sessions.
