We offer help and advice to the parents or carers of children aged 5-11 to help them manage their child’s anxiety or behavioural issues:
Where the child is experiencing worries or fears which are getting in the way of activities, family life, relationships or school.
Where the parent or carer would like help learning how to respond to behaviour they may find difficult to manage, such as temper tantrums or difficulties following the rules and instructions.
We will see young people aged 12 to 18 years old for an anxiety or low mood intervention where the young person is:
Experiencing worries or fears that interfere with their daily lives, avoid activities and social contact.
Experiencing low mood and may be feeling unmotivated with a loss of interest in daily activities.
