Meet Damon Bachegalup Teen Behaviour Specialist & Family Consultant

26 Years Helping Families Resolve Complex Teenage Behaviour. Damon Bachegalup is a highly experienced Family Behavioural Consultant, Integrative Psychotherapist and Family Mediator specialising in complex adolescent behavioural challenges. Online and Face to Face

Family & Adolescent Behavioural Consultant

Damon Bachegalup works directly with families navigating complex adolescent and young adult behavioural challenges.

Damon works directly with families facing complex adolescent behavioural challenges, delivering structured intervention to recalibrate family dynamics and restore stability through private consulting and selective one-to-one residential placements.

Damon is typically engaged at points of escalation where clear, decisive intervention is required.

For over 26 years, he has been engaged by parents facing escalating situations including persistent defiance, school refusal, addiction concerns, loss of direction and breakdown in family relationships.

His work is grounded in behavioural analysis and family systems thinking, with a focus on stabilising dynamics, restoring parental authority and creating clear pathways forward. “Damon often works alongside existing professionals, providing oversight and direction in complex cases.”

A Specialist Intervention Approach

Damon’s work is not advisory in the traditional sense.

He provides structured, direct intervention where situations have moved beyond standard therapeutic or educational support.

This includes:

• behavioural stabilisation
• family systems recalibration
• strategic parental alignment
• intervention planning and oversight

Where appropriate, this may extend to private 1:1 residential placement as part of a wider intervention strategy.

Founder of Teencamps-UK

In 2008, Damon founded Teencamps-UK to provide discreet, individually structured residential intervention for adolescents and young adults requiring stabilisation outside the home environment.

Residential work is used selectively and only where it forms part of a broader, systems-led approach.

How He Works

Damon works with a limited number of families each year to ensure depth of involvement, discretion and continuity.

All engagements are:

• personally led
• confidential
• structured and outcome-focused

Families are typically introduced through private referrals or at the point where previous approaches have reached their limits.
