Anxious Teenagers
Counselling, Parent Support, Training and Therapeutic Groups to
help young people thrive.
Are you a parent, carer or youth professional seeing a huge rise in anxiety and feel like things are getting worse?
Do you want to find a way to offer support but your fear of getting things wrong is playing on your mind?
Are you feeling helpless and hopeless whilst struggling to make sense of all the mixed information online?
Living with anxiety is hard
Caring for an anxious teenager can feel overwhelming, unpredictable and isolating.
Not only does it impact their friendships, their life with you and their ability to attend school but it also affects how they think and feel about themselves.
It feels hard to sit back and watch your once lighthearted child become burdened with so much stress and worry.
​
You’ve spent day after day attending courses, joining groups and trawling websites; desperately trying to find an approach that fits your child and takes away their fears.
Meanwhile, their anxiety levels are rising because they feel pressured to be doing more and you both end up feeling frustrated angry and upset.
​
The truth is you’re not convinced that reframing their thinking or making them go back into the environments that are causing them distress is what is best for them but you feel like you're running out of options. All you know is you ​need support that helps you find a way through this without making things even worse.

Hi, I'm Ange McMillan
I'm a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accredited counsellor with 16 years experience helping young people and adults. I've worked for Mind, The YMCA, Childline and The Terrence Higgins Trust supporting young people through workshops, therapeutic groups, coaching and counselling.
​​​
Our team are experts in their field, providing counselling, parent and carer support, workshops and therapeutic support groups for young people and the adults in their lives.
​​
​
Having lived with, and overcome, anxiety myself I know first-hand how tough it can be to find the right support and solutions that work. I understand how important a combination of therapy and small lifestyle changes, based on scientific research are.
Focusing on connection, sleep, movement and nourishment are all strategies that work for both myself and my clients.
I truly believe that with the right support we can all reach our true potential.
​
Quick-fix solutions don't work for us!
We don’t believe that traditional talking therapy approaches always work for our neurodivergent children and our services are set up with that in mind.
Our team work with your child’s interests using art, play, creativity and immersive technologies like avatar therapy and augmented reality to help your child share their stories.
​
Getting to know you and your child is our number one priority. Research shows that the relationship your child has with their therapist will make the most difference which is why we recommend a minimum of 12 sessions and often work with our families for a year to help make real and lasting changes.
Our services are for you if:
-
You suspect (or know) your child is neurodivergent
-
Traditional therapy hasn’t been effective in the past
-
Your child experiences barriers to school attendance
-
You want to take the pressure off and reduce demands ​

"I am fairly ancient now and been teaching for decades - but I think this is one of the best training sessions I've ever had. Pacing, structure, content (balance between theory and concrete examples) and your style of delivery.”
" Angela delivered a phenomenal webinar - the advice given was extremely helpful and she shared some excellent techniques for helping a young person with anxiety. I will be attending more of her sessions as she offers such a wonderful resource! Thank you"
