Does some or all this sound familiar?
YOUR TEEN IS STRUGGLING...
They no longer want to go out for family meals or days out. They are reluctant to go to school or do school work. They make excuses to avoid going out with their friends you know they like. They have stopped regularly attending their football, netball, gymnastics or drama club.
Your teen is now mostly spending time on their own in their room and communication with you has become a shrug of the shoulders and at best one-word answers.
When they need to get on with a task or make a decision they become easily overwhelmed. Trying to solve a maths problem, responding to messages from a friend asking if they want to go out tomorrow, or deciding whether to play in Sunday's football game can result in panic, shouting, upset, crying or an angry outburst.
Their attendance and grades at school are starting to slip, friendships are suffering, family life is becoming fraught and they are missing out on key teenage experiences such having sleep overs with friends, going to parties, meeting their first love, enjoying a day out at a theme parks.
You've tried to have conversations, to find out what is going on for them but they can’t or won’t explain. In fact, whenever you ask them why they are making excuses to see friends or why they can do some days or lessons at school but not others, they tell you to leave them alone, that you don't understand or they just don't want to. Often these conversations lead to arguments.
You've reached out for help from your for GP or your child's school.
.....YOUR GP HAS TOLD YOU YOUR TEEN HAS ANXIETY
NOW YOU ARE DESPERATE TO HELP BUT EVERYTHING YOU TRY LEADS TO ARGUMENTS OR MORE HIDING AWAY AND YOU WORRY ABOUT THEIR FUTURE.
So, you know what the problem is but not how to support your teen ....
..when they were younger you could make everything better with a hug, you knew just want to do...and it worked.
.....they won't let you help
You seek ways to talk to your teen, to offer support and help so they can start enjoying their life .........
.....you don't know what else to try.
You're stuck in a battle with anxiety!
and this means regular parenting no longer works!
When did this battle with anxiety start?
You talked to family and friends describing how your teen had become moody and withdrawn, not wanting to go out of the house as much and not wanting to talk to you about what's going on. Friends suggested this was just normal teenage stuff and it would work out okay in the end. You hoped this would be a phase, teenagers can be difficult, right? (thinking Kevin and Perry!).
You were patient, you tried to carry on as usual but it got to a point where every day family life was becoming full of tension and arguments. Your teen became increasingly reluctant to go to school, to do school work, to accept invitations from friends and family, to take part on activities such as sports or drama groups. You noticed them making more and more excuses.
Your worries started to keep you up at night and make it hard to focus on getting things done at work or home. You found yourself becoming distracted thinking about and looking for solutions to help your child. You started feeling rubbish as a parent, like you were letting your teen down despite making so much effort to help.
Worries about the future started to creep in, concerns about the qualifications they would get, whether they would have enough confidence to get a job, to make a good bunch of friends.
Looking back on the years gone by, you thought how much easier things were then. Bruised knees mended with a magic kiss, fallings out with friend's made better with a hug and a chat about what your child could do, warnings about losing access to the TV or tablet helped your child to do the right thing. But you found these strategies were no longer working and you found yourself at a loss, not knowing what to do to make things better.
So, you reached out to your GP and they confirmed the reason for the arguments, withdrawn and moody behaviour is that your child is suffering from anxiety.
So what are you supposed to do now?
You felt some relief knowing the problem you are facing. So, what do you need to do to make this anxiety do one? Your GP recommended that your teen should access counselling or therapy at school or via a local mental health service.
You felt optimistic you had found a solution for your teen - phew thank goodness for that!
Your teen may have been offered counselling or therapy or be on a waiting list. They may be saying they don't want to go to counselling, they don't want help. Things at home are not improving and your teen is still not engaging in their lives.
So despite knowing you are dealing with anxiety, you are still feeling lost about how to support your teen at home. Any wait for help feels like an eternity when family life is so fraught.
You reassure, saying “it will be okay” but your teen (and you) know it isn’t really. They tell you "you don't understand". You would love to understand if only they would let you know what's going on!
You encourage, saying “you can do it, you’ve done it before”. Your teen tells you they can’t, but not why! You don't get it. You are not sure whether you should push on encouraging (which can lead to arguments) or back off completely (but where you that leave you?).
You give consequences, saying "you are not going on your phone or games console if you can't get into school". This leads to arguments and doesn't seem to help (but what else are you supposed to do?).
You hug them and go along with what feels right for them, saying "okay then, tell you what, we won't do that today. We can try again tomorrow". But when tomorrow comes, you are back in the same situation - feeling stuck!
You tell them this is anxiety, saying "we know this is anxiety and there are people who can help you if you let them". They tell you they don't want help or say there is no point as no one can help. This leaves you feeling frustrated as you believe things would get better if they could make use of the help that is out there!
You are worried for their future and wondering where to turn now…. .would medication help? Should you look privately for a counsellor, therapist or psychologist? Would they even go? You wonder whether these things will help either.
You have tried everything but nothing seems to work!
Let's consider what's holding you and your teen back.
Big Concern #1:
My teen is not sure they even want help
Okay, I guarantee, no teen wants to spend their days isolated, away from school, their friends and their lives.
The trouble is once anxiety takes hold (meaning your child is doing less and less), they start to feel more and more hopeless about themselves and what is possible and doing more feels increasingly scary.
When a teen with anxiety says "I don't want help" they are really saying "I am too scared to make any changes, it is all too hard and nothing will work anyway".
This is the battle with anxiety, not your teen. I guarantee your teen is doing the best they can right now.
Once you understand why is it so hard for your teen to make positive changes, you will be in a position to form a team with them. As a team, you can then work together to help them to get their life back on track, one step at a time.
Big Concern #2:
My teen won't talk to me
After years of helping children, teens and families to overcome anxiety here is what I know to be true......
Young people really do want to talk if only they know how.
When you ask your teen why they are not able to go to school or to go out with friends, it is likely they really don't know - this battle with anxiety is as confusing for them as you!
Once you know how to approach your teen and the issue of anxiety, it really is possible to have helpful conversations.
Conversations where:
-
you find out how anxiety feels for your child, what they are thinking and how anxiety is preventing them from going to school, seeing their friends and getting on with their life.
-
your child starts to feel that you get it and understand what is so hard for them.
Once you have these conversations, you'll be in best position to start helping your child!
Big Concern #3:
Is my teen just an anxious person who will always suffer from anxiety?
It is absolutely possible to break free of and reverse the cycle of anxiety now and to build resilience for the future.
Anxiety is a normal human response, but the way we respond to it determines how much it gets in the way of what we want to be doing in our lives.
Once you learn how to notice and respond to the thoughts and feelings that come with anxiety, you are able to break free of it's hold. Once you have these tools and skills, you have them for the rest of your life. You are well-prepared to resist and conquer anxiety when it comes along meaning you can continue to live a life of your choosing (not dictated to by anxiety).
As a parent, once your teen has these anxiety management tools comfort comes. Comfort in the knowledge they have the tools to break free of anxiety now and can use them to tackle anxiety and thrive throughout their lives.
NOW, SLOW YOUR SCROLL FOR A SEC
Imagine what it would be like for you and your teen to have the tools you both need to tackle anxiety.
You would feel confident knowing how and when to listen to your teen, when to offer support and what support is best in each moment. Your relationship would remain, on the whole, positive and family life would once again contain moments of joy and laughter with far fewer arguments.
You would see your teen going out of the front door to school or to meet their friends. This would happen without a huge row first. You would be able to make plans for family meals and days out knowing you will be able to go. Your teen's school grades would be towards what is expected. Sure, they would have their ups and downs but they would be able to manage life's challenges themselves or ask for your support.
You would feel confident about the future knowing that your teen can recognise and manage anxiety whenever and however it shows up or be confident to reach out for help. You would feel optimistic they will reach their potential, gain qualifications, have a quality social and family life, establish their career.
Sounds too good to be true?
It's not.
...I know because I’ve helped many parents and their teens to understand and recover from anxiety problems.
I can’t wait to show YOU how.
But wait, have we officially met?
Hey, I'm Dr Rebecca Mount!
But please call me Beck. I'm a Mum to three children, a lover of the outdoors and nature (as long as this in done in some level of comfort), holiday maker, fan of good pub grub by a cosy fire and the odd glass of wine.
I'm also a Clinical Psychologist with a passion to help teens overcome mental health struggles with their parents support. My wish is for teens to acquire the skills needed to conquer life challenges; to thrive now and in the years ahead and I believe parents play a really important role in this process.
I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2005 (University of Birmingham). Prior to this, I completed a PhD in Psychology at University College London and in the more distant past, I completed my first degree in Psychology (BSc) from the University of Reading.
For twenty years, I have been practicing as a Clinical Psychologist specialising in working with children and young people . I have worked in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) for the NHS, Local Authorities and for charities and community interest companies. I am registered with the Health Professions Council (www.hcpc-uk.org) as a practitioner psychologist.
Over the last ten years I have been working in independent practice and this is now my main focus. I continue to offer direct clinical services to children, young people and families from my office in Stourbridge, West Midlands.
As I worked with young people struggling with anxiety, I noticed that I was using the same process over and over to enable these children to recover and re-engage in their lives. I also came to learn that overcoming anxiety on your own can be a tough ask for young people, and so I always involve parents so young people are supported each step of the way on their journey of recovery. When anxiety is around, regular parenting techniques don't work - you need a different approach.
My process to anxiety recovery is informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Positive Psychology approaches.
This process has become my 5 Phase Solution to the battle with anxiety. A process I use day to day with parents and children and teens in my clinical practice.
I believe that young people should not be held back by anxiety. They should have the opportunity to live their best lives and parents be provided with the knowledge and skills to support them.
Enter: The Anxious Teen Supporters Club and my 5 Phase Solution.
The approach and support package that takes parents from uncertain and stuck to a knowledgeable and confident anxiety coach for their teen:
-
No more googling ways to overcome anxiety.
-
No more blocked communication with your teen.
-
No more being in the dark about what is going on for your teen.
-
No more arguments about going to school, going out with friends, getting to weekly activities.
-
No more feeling lost and that you are getting everything wrong.
-
No more sleepless nights full or worry and concern.
-
No more battles with anxiety and your teen.
Instead, a clinically informed approach to anxiety recovery that you can apply in your and your teen's lives, supported along the way my me - you don't have to go through this alone
If your with me, now's the time to get excited because it's about to be ALL yours.

THE ANXIOUS TEAM SUPPORTERS CLUB IS A GREAT MATCH FOR YOU IF ....
You are a parent of a child aged 12-16 years.
You have observed your child struggling to do things such as going to school, enjoying time with family and friends and doing hobbies and activities.
You have reached out for help from you GP and have been told the struggles you observe relate to your teen having anxiety. It does not matter what type of anxiety your teen has. The programme is designed to work with a wide range of anxiety problems (see the frequently answered questions section below).
Before problems related to anxiety came along, you would say you had a good relationship with your child.
You believe parents have a key role to play in the lives of teenagers.
You are looking for a way to connect with your teen around this anxiety problem and are open to learning different ways you can support them. To help them to get back to school, spend time with family and friends and enjoy other activities.
You believe all humans deserve to be treated equally and agree to be a part of our inclusive community where everyone is respected
You are committed and willing to learn about and then take the time and action to help your teen practice the skills needed to tackle anxiety.
This isn't the programme for you if
You do not know whether you teen is struggling with anxiety. If you have observed you teen is struggling but have yet to seek any advice, I recommend you visit your GP with your teen so they can advise on the diagnosis and what support is likely to be helpful.
You do not consider, as a parent, you have a vital role to play in your teen's recovery from anxiety.
Your teen has experienced significant trauma in their lives such as emotional, physical or sexual abuse, recent or traumatic separation of parents. The content of the programme is suitable for young people with these needs but they are likely to have additional support needs which are beyond the scope of the programme and so I recommend young people with these experiences access CAMHS to receive support to process and overcome these concerns.
Your teen has significant mental health challenges including disordered eating, self-harming, drugs or alcohol misuse. The content of the programme is suitable for young people with these needs but they are likely to have additional support needs which are beyond the scope of the programme and so I recommend accessing a Children's Mental Health Service (CAMHS) so that issues of risk can be appropriately assessed and managed.
You are looking for direct support for your teen, rather than for yourself as a parent.
Your teen has a diagnosis of a neurodevelopmental disorder such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The content of the programme is suitable for young people with these needs but they are likely to have additional support needs which are beyond the scope of the programme.
Your teen's anxiety appears specifically related to the loss of a significant person (grief). Teens who are grieving are likely to benefit from direct input specifically targeted towards this issue.

I'VE GOT A'S FOR YOUR Q'S
FAQs:
What kind of anxiety problems does the programme help with?
It is an approach that will work with a wide range of anxiety problems because it is based on tackling the underlying cause of the problem – your teen's cycle of anxiety using a process that is proven to work.
We work together to develop a specific plan for your teen's recovery from their anxiety. I have included an anxiety assessment in the programme so we can get to the bottom of your teen's specific problem.
So whether you teen has a phobia, general anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessional and compulsive disorder, health anxiety, social anxiety or separation anxiety - this programme is developed to help. It all starts with understanding your teen's specific problems and this happens in the parenting and perceive phases.
My child won't talk to me about their anxiety, should I still join?
Absolutely.
One of the FIRST things you will do is learn how to approach your teen to have conversations about anxiety and build a positive connection. You learn how to form a team with your teen to support them through their recovery from anxiety.
My child is already receiving input, can I do the programme alongside this?
Yes. This programme will help you as a parent support your teen at home. This is often the missing element in individual support and will allow you to complement this input at home.
What if my child refuses help and support, is there any point joining?
Yes, this is not a programme for young people and so they do not need to take part directly.
The first phase of the programme will teach you how to re-connect with your teen, bring them on side and form a team. This is the foundation of the programme and I will support you to make this happen before you move onto the next phase to start addressing the anxiety problems themselves.
You receive support for a total of six month, a substantial period of time to allow you to reconnect with your teen first and then go with them on their journey of recovery from anxiety.
What kind of time commitment is needed to get results from the programme?
The videos are bite size allowing you to watch them in spare moments.
The investment is then putting the learning into practice as part of a regaining that rewarding relationship with your child s you support them on their journey.
Therefore, you do need to be prepared to invest time to connect with your teen and persevere with this until you form a team together.
My child has been struggling for quite some time does this mean it has gone on for too long to benefit from parent support?
No, the programme is developed to help with mild to moderate anxiety no matter how long it has been around.
The severity of type of anxiety is assessed as part of programme, and so we will develop a good understanding of your teen's struggles before mapping out goals and moving towards these.
My child seems to have some depression alongside anxiety, it is okay for me to take part in the programme.
Yes, it is quite commen for children with anxiety probelms to have difficulty with low mood. This tends to come from thte fact they do less and less and feel worse and worse about themselves. As you work through the programme you will enable them to identify goals that are important to them and start moving towards these. In my experience the low mood starts to lift as young people start to do more and develop their confidence to do even more.
What if I find out that my child is presenting with risky behaviours as we go through the programme?
The programme is not designed to be able to manage issues of risk that some with self-harming behaviour, eating disorders or drug or alcohol use. If you become aware of these during the course of the programme, it will be necessary for you to contact your GP to access the appropriate level of support. I will be there to available to consider with you the alternative or additional options for support.
Can me and my partner both take part?
Yes. When you join, you will received one log in per family but you can both use this to log in and access the course materials.
It can be helpful if all adults have an appreciation for the approach being taken to recover from anxiety.
In case you're wondering, here's how The Anxious Teen Supporters Club stacks up against other support that's available out there..
Typical support offered to teen and parents for anxiety
(e.g. via CAMHS, school or individual counsellors)
Support targeted towards the young person. May not routinely include support for parents
If parents are included, support tends to be limited sharing particular strategies
Support available at particular appointment times only
Cannot be accessed by young people who do not agree to take part, who refuse help.
If anxiety difficulties return in the future, as a parent you are left to consider a referral to for your child.
Can prove difficult as a parent to directly access advice from the provider of the support as and when required
Can feel isolated as a parent as there is no community provision for parents. It is hard to talk to family and friends if they don't understand
Tends to include one particular approach at a time e.g. CBT
The Anxious Teen Supporters Club
Targeted support for parents is the core component
Forming a team with your teen and building you confidence to work with your teen are core to the programme's success.
Young people access support indirectly through their relationship with their parents
No waiting. Access teaching and support at a time
convenient to you
Weekly Q&A calls provide an opportunity to access a psychologist and get your questions answered when you need them.
Parents are equipped with the skills to support their teens and so are in a position to offer ongoing support if anxiety raises it's head again in the future, without the need to go back for a referral.
