Help for Children with Anxiety – Building Confidence and Emotional Resilience

Many children today experience anxiety, low confidence, and feelings of overwhelm. This can be due to school pressures, friendships, exams, or challenges at home. When left unaddressed, anxiety can impact a child’s mental health, learning, and overall happiness.

At Diamond Wellbeing, I help children overcome anxiety and build lasting confidence using a combination of Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), and Havening Techniques. These gentle, evidence-based approaches are designed to calm the nervous system, boost emotional resilience, and help children develop practical tools for coping with stress.

With 15 years of experience as a fully qualified teacher, working in mainstream education and with children who have SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) and SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health needs), I understand how anxiety can affect both learning and behaviour. My background means I can connect with children in a safe, supportive, and empowering way, helping them feel understood and confident.

Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy for Children

Hypnotherapy uses the natural power of imagination to help children access a calm, focused state where positive change feels safe and achievable.
Through soothing stories and guided imagery, children can:

  • Reduce feelings of fear, worry, and anxiety

  • Improve sleep and relaxation

  • Build self-esteem and inner confidence

  • Develop coping skills for everyday challenges

  • Eliminate phobias

Sessions are always gentle, age-appropriate, and tailored to each child’s individual needs.

EFT for Children’s Anxiety and Confidence

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping therapy, is a simple and effective way for children to release difficult feelings. By combining gentle tapping on specific points with talking through emotions, children can quickly feel calmer and more in control.

EFT can help children:

  • Ease anxiety, overwhelm, and frustration

  • Regulate their emotions in moments of stress

  • Develop emotional awareness and resilience

  • Feel empowered to use EFT independently whenever they need support

Children often enjoy EFT because it feels practical and fun, giving them a powerful tool for everyday life.

Havening Techniques for Safety and Healing

Havening is a gentle, touch-based technique that helps to calm the brain’s natural stress response. It’s especially beneficial for children who have experienced trauma or distressing events.

Havening can:

  • Reduce the emotional impact of difficult memories

  • Create a deep sense of safety and calm

  • Build resilience for future challenges

  • Support long-term emotional well-being
