Parenting an anxious teen is hard
You see the toll it's taking on their happiness and self-worth and the impact it's having on everyday life - constant worry, social withdrawal, difficulty focusing on schoolwork, or maybe not even being able to make it into school.
It can leave you feeling helpless, isolated and frustrated as you wonder how to best support your child with anxiety
You might feel like you're not doing enough, what you're doing isn't working, or even that you might be doing the wrong things and making it worse.
It might feel difficult to connect with your child while you're navigating a minefield of unpredictable and intense emotions. Maybe you're walking on eggshells and your relationship feels like it's slipping away.
It's stressful and upsetting to worry about your child's happiness and the long term impact of anxiety on their relationships, education and mental health. It can be overwhelming to balance the day-to-day demands of parenting an anxious teen with the rest of your life, and you might be seeing the impact spread into your work, your other children, your relationships and your physical and mental health.

Supporting an anxious teenager requires a different set of skills - and you can learn them
Anxious teenagers need to be parented differently. If you follow your instincts, you might be making some mistakes that are keeping your child stuck.
Your parenting isn't why they're anxious, but you can be part of their solution.
Anxiety is a normal part of being a human. We can't 'cure' it, it doesn't go away, but we can get good at managing it.
When anxiety is left unchecked it gets worse. Now is the time to start taking action for your child.
When you learn and practice them, things start to change
Raising Resilient Teens you will learn is a 6 week group coaching programme where you will learn the skills you need to be the parent your teen needs, and where you'll get the chance to practice so you're as effective as possible when you use them with your teen.
You'll gain:
Have a deeper understanding of your child's anxiety and how to support them effectively
Help them grow their self-worth, confidence, resilience, independence and autonomy
Develop a closer relationship with them
Feel more confident and empowered in your ability to support your child
There's power and support in a group experience...
Together, we'll unlock your child's potential and create a path towards reduced anxiety symptoms, improved well-being, and a brighter future.
And I'll coach you through each step so you know exactly how to implement what you learn with your child
We'll dive deeply into the skills you'll need to help your child manage their anxiety. We'll learn in detail about the helpful strategies you can implement that will help your child tolerate discomfort, try new things and problem solve independently so they can do more of what's important.
There isn't a quick fix to managing anxiety, it's a process that requires commitment. And it might get uncomfortable, but I'll be there to hold your hand every step of the way while you're helping your child learn how to get good at anxiety.
Supporting an Anxious Teenager Needs a Different Approach and a Different Set of Skills That You Can Learn
Anxious teenagers need to be parented differently than teenagers who don't have anxiety. If you follow your instincts, you might be making some mistakes that are keeping your child stuck in anxiety.
Your parenting isn't why they're anxious, but you can be part of the solution for them.
Anxiety is a normal part of being a human. We can't 'cure' it, it doesn't go away, but we can get good at managing it. If we cross our fingers and hope it'll be over soon, it won't. When anxiety is left unchecked it gets worse. Now is the time to start taking action for your child.
Raising Resilient Teens is designed to provide you with a deeper understanding of adolescent anxiety, equip you with a proven model of support, and guide you through weekly coaching sessions to effectively implement what you learn.
Together, we'll unlock your child's potential and create a path towards reduced anxiety symptoms, improved well-being, and a brighter future.
There is no quick fix, it takes time to practice these new skills. I can teach you the strategies and you can try and implement them, but it's much easier when you have someone to coach you and help you understand how you're going to implement them with your unique child and situation.
I'm Will, a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist Specialising in Teenagers with Anxiety
I've spent my 24 year career working with children and teenagers with mental health challenges. For many years I worked in special schools for children with social, emotional and mental health challenges, as a teacher, SENDCo and head teacher. I developed a highly regarded Structured Therapeutic Education Programme across a local education authority for children who were struggling with anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges. I've been in private practice as a psychotherapist since 2020 and work with teenagers with anxiety and their parents.
I've trained with, and am mentored by, some of the world's leading experts on adolescent anxiety. And I get to practice what I learn at home with my two sons.
I've distilled everything I know into simple, implementable concepts that empower parents to support their teens that I use in one-to-one sessions, and form the foundation of Raising Resilient Teens.

Got questions?
I can't make the live calls, is it worth joining?
What you'll miss is the opportunity to get direct coaching from me. You'll get more value if you can make it to the calls but the calls are all recorded and you'll have access to them in your portal, so you won't miss any of the content.
Can my child's other parent join too?
Yes. The cost is for two parents to join the programme. For the calls, you can be in two separate locations calls. Only one login will be automatically created, so let me know if you need a second email address and login added and we can organise that.
What happens on the calls?
I'll teach you a concept or approach for you to practice with your teen and you'll have the opportunity to be coached on how to implement it with them.
My child is already in therapy, do I need this course?
It's great that your child is in therapy and getting support with their anxiety. If you're actively collaborating with your child's therapist and feel clear and confident in your role, then you don't need this programme. If you're not, then Raising Resilient Teens will help you maximise the impact of their therapy. You'll learn how to respond to your child and create an environment for them that is most supportive.
I struggle with anxiety, how will I be able to help my child with it when I can't help myself?
It's common that anxious parents have anxious children and vice versa. You don't need to be free from anxiety to be able to help your child with theirs. We will learn some strategies to help you manage your own anxiety as part of the program, but you don't need anxiety to be gone before you take action. In fact, it's great to take action while anxiety is there.
We're on a waitlist for therapy, should we just wait for that?
No, your teen needs you now, and you'll learn great tools to support them while you're waiting. Action is an antidote to anxiety, so it's better to start supporting your child as soon as possible.
