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 grow in confidence and independence.
A 12-week parent-led 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 your approach - it's that anxiety requires specific, evidence-based techniques that most parenting advice doesn't cover.
​
You're not the problem - but you can be the solution.
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?”
Imagine if it felt different.
Imagine…
-
Your child growing in confidence and independence
-
Them trusting themselves more — and needing you less
-
You responding calmly and consistently instead of reacting in panic
-
Anxiety no longer running your household
-
A closer, more connected relationship with your child
-
Your family able to live fully again - school events, holidays, activities, normal mornings
Not because your child suddenly changed.
But because you had a clear, proven way to lead them through it.
"I need this!"
The Foundations Framework
A proven approach to helping your child overcome anxiety
The Anxiety Foundations Framework is my signature 12-week parent-led 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 more foundational aspects that really make a difference.
​
This isn’t about putting pressure on your child to “fix” themselves.
And it’s not about endlessly talking about feelings without change.
​
This is about equipping you — the most powerful influence in your child’s life — with gentle, evidence-based strategies that actually work.
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.

Why I Do This Work
​
Hi, I’m Katrina.
When my own daughter struggled with anxiety, I felt overwhelmed, anxious, and completely lost. I remember the constant worry. The second guessing. The exhaustion.
Everything changed when I trained in parent-led interventions that are proven to help children overcome anxiety.
I saw first-hand how powerful parents are in shaping their child’s recovery.
​
You are not the problem.
But you can absolutely be the solution.
​
And when you’re equipped properly, the transformation can be extraordinary.
​
Real Families. Real Change.
​
“We had tried two different anxiety courses and a psychologist to help our anxious daughter, but nothing was sticking as it fell on our daughter to do all the work. As parents, it was heartbreaking to watch our daughter limit her life to the point where she wouldn't leave the house. We were really losing our way and things were very tense at home. Katrina has a calm, supportive way of communicating and gave us a simple, clear path to follow. Within just a few weeks of working together, our daughter is much calmer, our relationship is closer, and she is managing her anxiety better. She is going on car trips, and enjoys eating again. The other day she even competed in a school gymnastics competition. All this progress and our daughter doesn’t even know we had help!”
​
“It's really reassuring to know that Katrina has worked through the same program for her daughter and that she reverts back to it when she needs to. Being able to share her own experiences made me feel she understood the challenges we have when you have an "anxious child." And the methods work!”

How I work with parents
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
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
Why I Love Parent-Led Coaching 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
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. ​​​
