Help for Struggling Teenagers and Families

If parenting your teenager feels overwhelming, you are not alone and there is effective support available.

Teencamps-UK provides private, one-to-one support for teenagers and families when behaviour, anxiety, motivation or communication have become difficult and other approaches haven’t worked.

Led by Damon, a specialist with 26 years’ experience supporting young people and parents, I help families across the UK and internationally restore calm, structure and connection.

When Families Reach Out

My approach is calm, focused and individual:

• One-to-one behavioural support

• Clear structure and healthy routines

• Emotional regulation and confidence building

• Family guidance and reintegration planning

• Absolute discretion and privacy

For some teenagers, intensive one-to-one support — including a private residential — allows change to happen when weekly support cannot.

Parents often contact me when:

• Their teen has shut down or withdrawn

• Anxiety or emotional stress dominates daily life

• Motivation, routines or boundaries have collapsed

• Gaming, screens or isolation are taking over

• Therapy, tutoring or school support hasn’t created change

These situations are exhausting and can leave parents feeling stuck or out of options.

Confidential Support — Limited Availability

Support is offered by only 6 residentials each year to ensure quality and privacy.

UK Private Residential — Parent Review December 2025

“Before the residential, our home was tense and silent. Our son had completely shut down and nothing — therapy, school support or consequences — made any difference.

Working one-to-one with Damon changed everything. For the first time, our son felt understood rather than managed. He returned calmer, more confident and able to talk to us again.

The change wasn’t just in him — it transformed our whole family. We finally have structure, clarity and hope.”

The Parents With Teenagers Handbook

Written by Damon, one of the UK’s leading teenage behavioural specialists with over 26 years’ experience, The Parents With Teenagers Handbook is a clear, practical guide for parents navigating the most challenging years of family life.

Damon has worked extensively with hard-to-engage, withdrawn and resistant teenagers as a behavioural therapist, mentor and mediator — often supporting families who feel stuck or out of options. Through researching behavioural and therapeutic programmes across the UK and Europe, he identified a crucial gap: parents lacked clear, effective guidance grounded in real-world experience.

That insight led to the creation of Teencamps-UK in 2008 — the UK’s specialist residential programme for teenagers, personally facilitated and counselled by Damon.

This book distils decades of frontline experience into calm, practical strategies parents can use immediately to improve communication, restore boundaries and reduce conflict — without blame, fear or jargon.

If you are parenting a teenager and need clarity, confidence and direction, this handbook is an essential place to start
