Is your child struggling with life at the moment?

Are they trying to cope with big feelings like grief, anxiety or anger?

Perhaps they have experienced:

• a heartbreaking bereavement

•  separation or divorce

• some other kind of traumatic event

Or maybe they are struggling with:

• anxiety that is interfering with their life

• being bullied

• having angry outbursts that they can’t seem to control

• making or keeping friends

• low self-esteem

• sadness or depression

• illness, or the illness of someone close to them

• nightmares or other sleep problems

• appetite or eating problems

• coping with step-parents or step-siblings

• fears or phobias

• the pressure of schoolwork, or school refusal

• lack of confidence

Or it could be that things seem ok on the surface, but you are concerned about how your child is coping generally with the pressure and challenges of modern life and you're looking for support to help you ensure they don't develop mental health problems in the future. 

With increasing numbers of children and young people affected by stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem, parents can feel at their wits end with worry, and not know how best to help their child, or where to turn for support.

 Whether your child needs help now, or you are seeking preventative help to ensure they stay emotionally well, you are in the right place to ensure they have a brighter future!
