Teen suicide isn't going up in Europe generally or specifically in the UK.
It seems more likely to me that the uptick is due to a 2004 FDA black-box warning on antidepressants indicating that they were associated with an increased risk of suicidal thinking, feeling, and behavior in young people. It seems likely that prescriptions for antidepressants would go down and people avoiding taking their antidepressants would go up a few years after the warning.
