Support that Grows with your Teen
With Dr Nisha Prabaharan
The teenage years are full of change physical, emotional, social, academic often all at once. It’s an exciting chapter, but it can also feel overwhelming for both young people and the families who care about them. At Walker Street Doctors, we believe adolescents deserve a GP who understands this stage of life, communicates without judgement, and helps them develop lifelong healthy habits.
That’s why we’re proud to offer dedicated adolescent health care with Dr Nisha Prabaharan, who brings warmth, insight, and evidence-based medicine to every teen consultation.
Why Adolescent Health Matters
Adolescence is a time where early support can shape long-term wellbeing. Issues like poor sleep, acne, anxiety, period concerns, sports injuries, or difficulty managing school pressures can escalate quickly without the right care. Young people are also navigating identity, independence, friendships, and a growing awareness of their bodies and boundaries.
Having a trusted GP who can communicate clearly and respectfully makes all the difference.
Meet Dr Nisha Prabaharan: GP for All Things Teen Health
Dr Nisha has a special interest in adolescent medicine and is passionate about giving young people a safe and comfortable space to talk about what matters most to them. Whether they’re shy, overwhelmed, unsure what’s “normal,” or simply need someone who listens, Dr Nisha brings:
- Warmth and relatability — she knows how to put teens at ease.
- Evidence-based care across physical, emotional, and mental health concerns.
- Open, judgement-free communication—because teens need to feel heard.
- A holistic, preventative lens, supporting teens to build healthy habits that last.
What Teens (and Parents) Commonly See Us For:
- Skin concerns such as acne, eczema, or changing moles
- Sleep issues and circadian rhythm disruption
- Stress, anxiety, mood changes, and school pressures
- Sports injuries, concussions, and return-to-play guidance
- Period irregularities, heavy bleeding, or painful cycles
- Sexual health, contraception, and safe-relationship discussions
- Healthy eating, body image, and exercise guidance
- Vaping, alcohol use, risk-taking behaviours
- General questions about puberty, growth, and development
Every consultation is shaped around the teen’s comfort level and privacy needs, with opportunities for one-on-one time where appropriate.
A Safe Space for Conversations That Matter
Teenagers don’t always talk openly at home and that’s normal. A GP can act as a bridge between adolescence and adulthood, offering medically accurate advice delivered with empathy.
Dr Nisha creates a supportive space where young people feel comfortable asking the awkward or important questions they might hesitate to raise elsewhere.
Partnering With Parents and Families
Parents often have their own concerns for example, worries about behavioural changes, sleep, school performance, or emerging mental health issues. Dr Nisha works closely with families to make sure everyone feels informed and supported while respecting the teenager’s right to confidentiality and autonomy.
If your teenager would benefit from a GP who truly understands adolescent health, we’d love to care for your family.
