Making Every School Day Positive.
I support children and teens to overcome anxiety-related school avoidance.
I give parents/carers emotional and practical support giving them agency to support their child and empower them to work with the school.
I am an anxiety specialist and have been working therapeutically with children, young people and families for 30 years, as a result I know how life limiting, exhausting and painful anxiety can be.
I am passionate about taking a collaborative approach and harnessing both the parents and young people's existing insight, knowledge, skills, strengths and talents. Together we create unique tools, strategies and solutions for lasting positive change.

Is your child living each day with inexplicable and persistent feelings of dread or impending doom that is interfering with and limiting their every day life?
Is their anxiety making it difficult to attend or stay in school?
Does your child struggle to make or maintain relationships or take part in social situations?
Is anxiety impacting their self-confidence, self-belief and self-worth?
Are they complaining of sore heads, stomach aches, feeling sick, not being able to sleep?
Are they biting their nails, picking their skin, pulling out their hair or beginning to self-harm?
As individuals we are inherently social beings who want to connect, we want to engage in school or engaging in learning, we want to be with friends and family, take part in hobbies or interests.
Some of the most typical signs of anxiety and overwhelm are….
Fixate, think about, overanalyse and breakdown everything that you or other people say or do
Sometimes feel like you are drowning, suffocating and can’t breath
Always think you are not good enough, not worthy enough, not clever enough, not loveable enough.…
Think in “worst case scenarios”
Have sleep issues
Can’t sit idle as this is when your mind starts to race
Always have excuses ready in your mind in case you need to leave a situation quickly.
Have an overwhelming sense of fear
Have constant feelings of shame, guilt and confusion.
Do you recognise any of these?
Anxiety is not developed or caused by a single factor but a combination. Genetics, personality traits, familial connection, difficult life experiences (one or many) and/or physical health.
What is known is people with anxiety often can’t see a future without it. You feel anxious most days and often struggle to remember the last time you felt relaxed. As soon as one anxious thought is resolved it is replaced by another.
As everyone is different identifying the root cause of your anxiety is unique to you.
Hello, my name is Dina and I help young people overcome anxiety and live a full and confident life.
With my support you WILL be able to find the root of YOUR anxiety, process this, redress this, reprogram your thinking and develop a deep-rooted resilience without having to second question every thought, reframe your thinking daily, create mind maps, write journals and read mountains of self-help books.
I will give you the ability and confidence to speak up and speak out and live the life you deserve.
