Child Anxiety Age 9

We came to Charlotte at The Pebble Ridge Practice looking for support and guidance on how to help our 9 year old son. He really struggled with his confidence and taking on anything new, to the point that something simple in our eyes could cause him to shut down completely showing absolute fear and panic, whilst it had been a minor issue as he has become older it had started to affect him more and more so meant he was starting to miss out, so we decided it was time to reach out for help. Charlotte had an initial consultation with us to discuss the main challenges and advised us on how we can help when these situations arise, then we introduced our son to her, and he started having 45-minute sessions once every few weeks. He really took to Charlotte and looked forward to their sessions together, she has helped him develop strategies in coping with tough situations helping his breathing and keeping a positive mindset, setting him challenges that encourage confidence and she has done a brilliant job in the time they have had together and has made a real difference in his life and ours. After their sessions he would come out in such a good mood and felt so much better talking to someone other than his parents. I cannot rate Charlotte’s services highly enough; she was so friendly and supportive throughout and has done an outstanding job in helping our little boy become a confident young man.
