Anxiety Management
Helping Your Child Overcome Anxiety
Does your child struggle with constant worry, social fear, or stress related to school? At Better You HQ, we specialise in helping children and teens overcome anxiety and regain their confidence.
What is Anxiety, and How Does It Affect Children?
Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but for some children, it can become overwhelming, affecting their ability to enjoy life and face everyday challenges. Your child might feel constant worry, avoid social interactions, or experience physical symptoms like headaches or upset stomachs.
At Better You HQ Therapy and Counselling Clinic, we are experts in supporting children through the challenges of anxiety. We understand how anxiety can affect all areas of a child’s life, from school performance to friendships and family dynamics. With our specialised, evidence-based approaches, we provide tailored support to help children rebuild confidence, develop effective coping skills, and thrive in their everyday life.
Anxiety Relief Made Easy: Top Benefits of Therapy
Through our anxiety management counselling, your child can:
​
-
Learn to understand and manage their worries: We help children identify what causes their anxiety and provide them with practical techniques to process and regulate their feelings. Understanding their emotions is the first step toward feeling in control.
-
Gain tools to face fears and reduce avoidance behaviours: Anxiety often leads to avoidance, which can make fears grow stronger over time. Our therapy gently encourages children to face their fears in a supportive setting, teaching them strategies to handle challenging situations with confidence.
-
Build emotional resilience and self-confidence: By developing coping mechanisms and celebrating small successes, your child will learn to bounce back from setbacks and feel more confident in their abilities.
-
Improve relationships at home, school, and with friends: Anxiety can strain relationships, as children may struggle to communicate their needs or manage their emotions. Our therapy helps them develop social skills and emotional awareness to enhance their connections with others.
Fun, Engaging, and Effective: Our Kid-Friendly Approach to Overcoming Anxiety

Anxiety and Its Impact on Other Areas of Life
Anxiety doesn’t exist in isolation; it often overlaps with other challenges that can significantly impact a child’s wellbeing and development. If left untreated, anxiety can lead to a range of difficulties that affect every part of a child's life, from their emotional state to their social and academic performance.
That's why at Better You HQ Therapy and Counselling Clinic, we take a holistic approach to anxiety care, offering comprehensive support that integrates with our other services to address the full spectrum of needs.
​
-
Emotional Regulation: Anxiety can result in emotional outbursts, irritability, or withdrawal, which can make it challenging for children to regulate their emotions. Providing emotional regulation support is crucial in helping children manage these reactions and build resilience.
-
School Refusal: Many children with anxiety experience school refusal, which can result in poor attendance, disengagement, and academic setbacks. Addressing anxiety’s impact on school participation is key to improving both attendance and performance, ensuring that children feel confident and capable in the classroom.
-
Social Communication: Anxiety can also hinder a child's ability to engage with peers and navigate social situations, making it difficult to form healthy friendships and interact in group settings. By supporting social communication skills, we help children develop the confidence to engage with others and build meaningful relationships.
These interconnected challenges are why we create personalised plans that address multiple needs simultaneously, ensuring that children receive the comprehensive care they need to thrive in all areas of their lives.​
Take the First Step Towards Confidence and Calm
