Parent Support for Anxious Children

Anxiety Foundations Framework: 

From walking on eggshells around your child’s anxiety…

to a calm, consistent approach that helps them overcome anxiety and grow in confidence, resilience, and independence.

 

A 12-week framework designed for families who are ready to stop guessing — and start leading.

You're not alone, and there is hope. The problem isn't you - it's that anxiety requires specific, evidence-based techniques that most parenting advice doesn't cover.

I support parents virtually online, from my home in Guildford, Surrey using proven, parent-led techniques including the SPACE anxiety treatment program.

You’re exhausted. And you just want to get this right.

You love your child deeply.
You would do anything to help them feel better.

But right now?

  • You’re constantly walking on eggshells around their anxiety

  • You second guess what to say and how to respond

  • You’ve tried different approaches… and nothing seems to stick

  • Your mornings and evenings are hijacked by worry and meltdowns

  • You’re watching your child shrink away from things they would once have enjoyed

  • Your whole household revolves around what they can tolerate

  • You feel helpless, frustrated, and quietly heartbroken

  • And underneath it all is the question that never quite goes away: “Am I handling this the right way?”

Is this right for you?

This is for you if:

  • You want to know exactly what to do so that you can have a calm and consistent approach to overcoming your child's anxiety. 

  • You want your family to be able to live fully again - school events, holidays, activities, normal mornings

  • You feel ready and able to make changes to help your child.

  • You're ready to commit the time and energy to do this work.

The Foundations Framework

A proven approach to helping your child overcome anxiety

 

The Anxiety Foundations Framework is my signature 12-week programme designed to help you move from confusion and exhaustion to clarity and confidence. This Framework builds on and enhances the approach of the S.P.A.C.E. treatment program: Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions. Through my work with parents over the years, I have built in additional, more foundational aspects that also really make a difference. 

Over three months, we work closely together to:

  • Shift how anxiety operates in your home
     

  • Change your child’s relationship with anxious thoughts and feelings
     

  • Build lasting confidence and resilience
     

  • Strengthen your connection with your child
     

  • Create sustainable change that continues long after we finish working together
     

You don’t need your child to opt in. You lead the change. And I’ll guide you every step of the way.

This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a foundation that changes how your family handles anxiety.

How I work with parents

Parenting Anxious Children Branding

Free Consultation Call 

We'll discuss your child's specific challenges, your family situation, and whether parent-led support is right for you. There's no pressure - just an honest conversation about how I can help.

Anxiety Foundations Framework

Parenting Anxious Children Branding

This is where I start with all families, building the strong foundations that naturally and organically help lots of anxious thoughts and behaviours fall away.

Anxiety Deeper Work

Some anxious behaviours are deeper rooted, and may require the full intervention, which encompasses the whole SPACE anxiety treatment program. Together we will work out if this is what your child needs. 

Ongoing Support

I continue to work with many families to regularly check in, or deal with new events that they are dealing with.

"With the coaching, I have felt listened to, understood, and I've always come away with a clear action plan that works for me and my family. Any parent who is finding supporting an anxious child a struggle needs to try a session with Katrina.

You won't look back!" 

Why I Love Parent-Led Approaches

As a parent, I'm doing all the work, meaning no convincing my child to engage

When my daughter had selective mutism, taking her to traditional therapy wasn't an option. She couldn't engage in the sessions because she couldn't speak.

 

Like you might have experienced, I tried everything: rewards, encouragement, gentle pushing, backing off completely. Nothing worked, and I felt more helpless every day.

That's when I discovered parent-led approaches. I learned that by changing my responses and behaviours around her anxiety, I could help her build confidence without asking her to do anything that felt scary.

 

The results were incredible. Not only did my daughter make dramatic progress, but I felt empowered and in control for the first time in years.

 

This approach has now helped dozens of families I've worked with experience the same transformation.

FAQs

Parent learning SPACE treatment techniques to help anxious child

Is this right for my child and family?

This approach is suitable for 

  • children of any age, experiencing any level of anxiety

  • neurodivergent children

  • children who refuse or are too young for traditional therapy

  • parents who want to address anxiety early before it becomes more severe

  • parents who want to supplement their child's therapy to make sure they are complementing with the right approaches

You don't need: 

  • A formal diagnosis

  • Your child to agree or know about the sessions

  • Your child to attend any of the sessions

  • To wait months for NHS support

What if my child is neurodivergent?

 

No problem - many of the families I support have neurodivergent children. Anxiety and emotion regulation challenges are very common with neurodivergent conditions. The SPACE program has been validated as effective for autistic children.

 

What if only one parent can attend?

That's fine. Many families have one parent attending. Sessions can be recorded so your partner can watch them later and stay informed.

 

Do you work with children directly?

No - my approach is entirely parent-led. You attend the sessions, and you implement the strategies at home. This is actually more effective than traditional child therapy for many anxiety challenges.

Where are the sessions held?

I'm based in Surrey, but individual sessions are hosted online, on Zoom. This means I can support families throughout Surrey, across the UK and internationally. If you have access to the internet, I can help you.

Who comes to the sessions?

The parents come to the sessions, not the child. Ideally both parents attend (if possible) so you can support each other and stay consistent with the approach. However, sessions can be recorded and confidentially shared after the session so that both parent can have access to all the same information.​

 

How long and how often are the sessions?

The sessions are 1 hour long, every other week. In between each session you have new parts of the program to implement at home, and ongoing support and accountability from me. ​​
