Child Anxiety & Fears
Anxiety in children can look like tummy aches, clinginess, tears at school drop-off, trouble sleeping, or endless 'what if' worries. It's more common than parents realise — and it's very treatable.
Anxiety in children can look like tummy aches, clinginess, tears at school drop-off, trouble sleeping, or endless 'what if' worries. It's more common than parents realise — and it's very treatable.
Using child-friendly, evidence-based methods, we help children understand their worries, build calm-down skills and face fears step by step, so anxiety stops running the show.
Signs to look out for
- Excessive worrying or asking 'what if' repeatedly
- Clinginess or distress when separating from parents
- Trouble sleeping or frequent nightmares
- Physical complaints — stomach aches, headaches
- Avoiding school, activities or social situations
- Irritability, restlessness or panic episodes
Recognise a few of these? A consultation can bring clarity and relief — there's no need to wait or worry alone.
