Supporting Children, Teens & Families Through Life’s Challenges

Watching your child or teenager struggle with big emotions, school pressure, or distressing thoughts can feel overwhelming—and finding the right help shouldn’t be an added battle. You don’t have to figure it out alone. I provide a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where young people and their parents can work through difficulties with clarity and confidence.

ABOUT ME
Welcome to Resilient Therapies: CBT Online.
​
With over 15 years of specialist experience in mental health, I provide expert private psychological therapy for children, teenagers, and families. As a specialist Child and Adolescent Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) therapist, I help young people overcome anxiety, low mood, and distress without the barrier of lengthy NHS waiting lists.
​
Demystifying Mental Health for Young People
Children and teens often find big emotions overwhelming and hard to explain. My approach bridges that gap by transforming clinical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy into accessible, common-sense tools. Young people learn how the brain reacts to stress, why vicious cycles of anxiety develop, and how to change unhelpful thinking patterns to regain control.
Every young person is unique. I develop bespoke, goal-oriented CBT treatment plans tailored to developmental stages, academic pressures, and family life to support sustainable progress.

Targeted Anxiety & Mood Interventions: Proven CBT strategies addressing school anxiety, exam stress, generalized worry, low self-esteem, and depression.

WHAT IS CBT?
Understanding Specialist Online CBT for Children, Teens & Young Adults
​
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is the leading goal-oriented psychological intervention for children and adolescents facing emotional and behavioural challenges. Rooted in clinical research, youth CBT focuses on the dynamic relationship between a young person's thoughts, emotions, and physical reactions. By guiding children and teens to recognize distorted thinking loops, CBT empowers them to break cycles of anxiety, avoidance, and distress.
Throughout therapy, young people work in a supportive, low-pressure partnership with an experienced clinician. We explore the internal beliefs driving conditions such as perfectionism, social anxiety, and phobias. Children learn to question anxious assumptions, understand bodily stress responses, and develop balanced thinking habits that restore confidence in school, friendships, and day-to-day life.
​
Child and adolescent CBT is structured, purposeful, and time-effective, usually delivered over 6 to 20 weekly sessions tailored to the young person's age and goals. This time-limited approach ensures therapy remains focused on measurable progress. Each session provides practical, interactive learning, making abstract psychological ideas simple, engaging, and developmentally appropriate.
​
In our online CBT sessions, young people gain actionable tools to master difficult situations. We utilize cognitive restructuring to reframe catastrophic thoughts alongside gradual behavioural exposure to conquer avoidance and reduce compulsive routines. Parents are actively integrated into the process, receiving clear guidance to reinforce new coping strategies and support emotional regulation within the family home.
Widely recognized by clinical guidelines and NHS standards, CBT is the premier evidence-based treatment for childhood mental health disorders.
It successfully treats separation anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), low self-esteem, and mood difficulties. By providing accessible private online CBT, we ensure young people receive immediate, specialist psychological care without the barrier of long service waitlists.
