Graphic Lives is a series of highly engaging graphic novels for
young people who may need counselling and psychotherapy. Each book
introduces the difficulties faced by a teenage character and
follows them as they travel on their therapeutic journey with a
skilled and creative therapist. The key aims of these books are: to
demystify counselling and psychotherapy so that it is more
appealing and accessible to young people to destigmatise emotional
and mental health problems so that young people are better able to
accept help to encourage young people to embark upon their own
healing journeys, equipped with the sense that there is a way
forward. Sixteen year-olds Ava and Jade are obsessed with food,
calories, and staying thin. Pleased with the many compliments they
receive they push themselves into anorexia. Ava's mother is alarmed
by her daughter's weight loss and forces her into therapy with the
school counsellor, Steph. However after only two sessions Steph
touches a raw nerve, Ava storms out and refuses to continue. Only
when Jade is admitted to hospital does Ava return to therapy, where
she begins to understand the causes of her anorexic tendencies.

begins to experience anxiety attacks aggravated by his fears of
failure to meet his own and his family's expectations. When
intermittent feigned illness escalates to the point where he runs
out of an exam and hides in a cupboard, Hari agrees to see Steph,
the school counsellor. Together they explore ways for Hari to
manage his own anxiety and be less critical of himself.
