Anxiety in Children
Children and young people can experience challenges in their lives, just as adults do. Anxiety only becomes a problem when your Childs worries are out of proportion with relatively harmless situations. This may feel overwhelming and interfere with their everyday lives, education and social & family relationships.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is the most popular form of therapy for a range of issues that fall under the umbrella term ‘anxiety’ – we use an evidence-based, ‘here and now’ approach to facilitate recovery.
When to seek treatment for Anxiety in children and teens

What you need to know
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the most effective form of psychotherapy for anxiety disorders. Worry and anxiety can make it hard to function at home, at work, or in social situations.
Mild cases can be treated with self-guided digital therapy while treatment for longer-term anxiety conditions may gain better results from meeting a CBT therapist in person. Deciding which therapy is the right solution for you can be identified by taking an assessment. Get in touch to learn more.

Physical symptoms (such as lack of energy, muscle tension or palpitations)
