We all know these are stressful, busy times and anxiety is now endemic both in children and adults. Anxiety has no respect for age, background or profession. It can strike anyone at anytime. It now constitutes nearly 80% of my work. I see more and more children, particularly adolescents, who are very vulnerable to anxiety at this crucial stage in their emotional and cognitive development.
I have developed a set of training/workshops that will help children overcome this debilitating condition. However, first of all, I want to talk with you, the parents, as it’s essential you know what is available and what works for your child. I will be giving some complimentary talks which is aimed at parents with anxious children to provide some helpful information and strategies as a parent, to understand and help your child in the first instance.
The initial talk will take place in the Twickenham area and last around 45 minutes, during which I will cover the following:
The differences between worries, stress, anxiety and panic attacks
What not to do when a child has an anxiety attack
How to stop a panic attack in less than 15 seconds
Why talking therapies can be ineffective
Why instead of reducing anxiety we have to change the brain
How the anxious/depressed brain can be rewired (neuroplasticity)
How the group workshops for children are designed
Events
Tuesday 19th March 2019 from 19:30 to 20:30

Drawing Therapy Helping Children-When a young child or adolescent begins to display unhealthy behaviours, at school or at home, they don't have the necessary language to express themselves, so it comes out in other ways, usually negatively, such as anger, violence, sadness, anxiety, withdrawal, etc.
The core of Drawing & Talking is not for therapist intervention, or to interpret the drawing, but to allow the child to feel emotionally better.
Drawing Therapy For Children-I've recently finished a training in Drawing and Talking, which allows young people to express negative emotions, and ultimately to move forward in their life.
Where D&T differs from many other therapies is that instead of being a formal therapy it's very much focused on the child (or adult) expressing parts of themselves, and what they may be going through internally, currently, and/or historically.

Anxiety & Recovery-Anxiety condition and its physiological effects have been conditioned over years, so that feeling of fear has become a habit stored in the sub conscious mind. It becomes a habit in your daily life activated by all sorts of triggers. The body has been ‘re-set’ at a higher level of anxiety.
However, all that can stop and be re-conditioned with The Linden Method.
