Assessment and intervention
Children and adolescents
A child doesn’t say “I have anxiety”. They stop sleeping, flare up over the smallest thing, go quiet, or get a tummy ache every school morning or when facing new situations.
The work begins with translating that: understanding what is going on beneath the symptom, and from there deciding what to do, together with the child and their family.

When to book an appointment
When something has gone on for a while and isn’t easing by itself. When the school mentions something you don’t see at home, or the other way round. When there has been a major change (a house move, a separation, a loss) and the child doesn’t settle back into their usual self. Or when the question is whether they are developing as expected for their age; that question can also be answered in an assessment.
