About Anxious Kids and Teens 

Hi I'm Dr Luisa!

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist in the UK, mum to two teenagers and the founder of Anxious Kids and Teens.

Before creating Anxious Kids and Teens, I spent over twenty years as working with children and young people with anxiety.

My job was to support and empower children, teenagers and their families to really understand anxiety and learn coping skills to manage the challenges that anxiety brings.

Having worked with hundreds of families over the years and having experienced my own children struggling with anxiety at different times in their development, I realised how tricky it can be access the right psychological support for our parenting when and where we need it most.

Any parent who has faced difficult times with their children knows the challenge and upset this can cause. They also know the relief and joy they feel when they finally receive the right advice and support. However, trying to access traditional face to face therapy can be expensive, difficult to find and hard to fit in to our busy lives.

Having seen the difference that the right psychological support at the right time can make to families, it led me to begin to develop online psychological resources that are easily accessible and can be accessed in a flexible way to suit busy parents and families.

There is so much evidence based research and practice around anxiety, but it is often not well understood or applied.

It is my mission to bring this evidenced base information to as many children, teenagers and families as I can, in an engaging and practical way.
