When anxiety starts getting in the way
Your child may be struggling with:
- Worrying and overthinking
- School anxiety or transitions
- Avoiding situations because they feel too difficult
- Separation worries
- Low confidence and fear of getting things wrong
- Big emotions or meltdowns after holding everything together
- Friendship or social worries
- Physical feelings of anxiety
- Repeatedly asking for reassurance
- Fear following a difficult experience or change
They don't need to fit a particular label.
I start with what is getting in the way for your child.
Practical coaching — not just talking about the worry
I help children understand why their brain sounds the alarm, recognise the difference between thoughts and facts, notice what happens in their body and gradually build confidence in situations that feel difficult.
Depending on the individual child, I may work with tools around worry, avoidance, emotional regulation, brave steps, confidence and their inner voice.
Sessions are practical, visual and adapted to the child.
For some children, animal-assisted coaching alongside my horses and other animals can make learning feel much less like a formal session..
