Anxiety can show up in many different ways. It might look like tummy aches before school, avoiding new situations, needing constant reassurance, becoming overwhelmed by small changes, struggling to sleep, or big emotions that seem to come out of nowhere.
At Child in Mind Psychology, we understand that anxiety isn’t a child being difficult or attention seeking, it’s their nervous system trying to keep them safe.
Our approach focuses on helping children:
- Understand what anxiety is and why it happens.
- Recognise the early signs in their body.
- Learn practical strategies to manage anxious thoughts and feelings.
- Build confidence through small, achievable successes.
- Develop coping skills that can be used at home, school and in the community.
We also work closely with parents and caregivers, providing strategies and support so you feel confident helping your child navigate anxious moments.
If your child is finding anxiety is getting in the way of school, friendships, family life or everyday activities, we’re here to help.
