These are just some of the problems parents /carers describe as being a constant source of worry, frustration, fear, and anxiety from their child.
Parents /carers come to us when they are no longer able to move forward, because they can’t resolve these problems on their own.
Translating to a child struggling with:
-Not wanting to go to school
-Panic attacks when they do
-Social withdrawal
-Low mood
-Extreme nervousness
-Sudden bouts of unexplained sickness
-A deterioration in behaviour

Parents /carers can then battle feelings of guilt at not being a ‘good enough’ parent or disliking their child because their behaviour is so out of control.
Therapeutic objectives think about:
-Direct work with the young person
