Children’s & Adolescent Anxiety
Restore Calm. Build Confidence. Help Your Child Thrive.
Supporting lasting change for Children, Teens and Adolescents
Anxiety can affect every part of your child or teenager’s life, impacting friendships, learning, confidence, sleep and even their physical health. Social pressures, academic expectations, and the transitions of growing up can sometimes feel overwhelming, leading to worry, avoidance or physical symptoms like headaches and stomach aches. Whether it’s childhood nerves or the unique challenges faced by adolescents and teens, anxiety can hold young people back from reaching their full potential.
I connect with young people at their unique stage of life, offering an evidence-based clinical approach that’s thoughtfully adapted for children, teenagers and Adolescents. Hypnotherapy empowers young people to understand and manage their anxiety, develop lifelong coping skills and rediscover a sense of calm and confidence in every stage of growing up. With specialist support designed to be age-appropriate and aligned to their unique personality, I help young clients, and their families build confidence, self-esteem and begin fully imagining their future.
