Why Choose The Teen Talk Room
Talking about personal worries isn’t always easy. Finding the right person to listen can feel like a big step.
The Teen Talk Room aims to make that first step feel more manageable.
A Non-Judgemental Space
You can express your thoughts and feelings without needing to pretend that everything is okay.
Support Through Email And Social Media
If talking face to face feels uncomfortable, email or social media chat gives you time to think about what you want to say and express yourself in your own words.
Support Tailoured to You
Everyone’s experiences are different. Your thoughts, feelings and circumstances deserve to be taken seriously.
A Focus on Understanding
Sometimes, putting your thoughts into words can help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and consider what might help you move forward.

Who are we?
Meet Jodie
Professional Experience. A Genuine Passion for Supporting Young People.
I’m Jodie, a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst.
My professional background initially focused on supporting children with autism. During time away from my career raising my own children, I began to recognise just how valuable the skills and knowledge I had developed could be in supporting teenagers and young adults.
Watching my own children grow up gave me a greater appreciation of the pressures young people face today. I recognise that many teenagers and young adults need somewhere they can express themselves, explore their feelings and talk about the challenges affecting their lives.
This inspired me to create The Teen Talk Room.
My aim is to provide a welcoming, supportive space where young people feel listened to, understood and encouraged to develop the skills and confidence to navigate life’s challenges.
I believe that every young person deserves to feel that their voice matters.
Because sometimes, the first step towards feeling better is simply being heard.
