Transformative Support for Teenagers and Families

Working with Damon means more than therapy — it’s a chance for your teen and your family to experience lasting change. Through personalised one-to-one guidance and residentials, camps where Damon helps Teenagers:

• Reset negative behaviours and learn emotional control

• Rebuild self-esteem, resilience and accountability

• Strengthen relationships with parents and family members

• Develop confidence and clarity to make better life choices

Why Families Trust Teencamps-UK

Damon’s approach is integrative and deeply personal, blending therapeutic techniques with real-world experience. His background from working as a doorman in Manchester to retraining later in life as a psychotherapist gives him a rare ability to connect authentically with teenagers, earning their respect and trust quickly.

Inspired by the Channel 4 series “Brat Camp”, Damon founded the UK’s first independent behavioural camps for teens in 2008, originally known as Teenbratcampuk. Over the years, he evolved the concept into today’s Teencamps-UK Residential Model — a discreet, therapist-led and highly effective intervention for families seeking professional behavioural change programmes in the UK and Spain.

A Trusted, Evolving Service for Modern Families

Today, Teencamps-UK stands as a leader in private behavioural and emotional support for teenagers. Damon continues to guide each programme personally, ensuring that every family receives bespoke care, structured progress and meaningful transformation. His mission is simple yet powerful — to help families reconnect, restore balance and move forward with hope and confidence.
