Understanding Anxiety Disorders
Feeling worried or anxious is a normal response to certain situations. Additional support may be helpful when anxiety becomes persistent, feels difficult to manage or begins affecting the child's wellbeing and everyday activities.
Persistent worry across several areas of life, such as school, family, health or future events.
Significant distress when separating from parents, caregivers or other attachment figures.
Fear or discomfort linked to social situations, speaking in front of others or feeling judged.
Intense anxiety connected to a particular object, experience or situation.
Each child experiences anxiety differently, and individual signs do not automatically indicate an anxiety disorder.
Possible Signs of Anxiety
Physical symptoms can have different causes and may require appropriate medical review.
Anxiety Across Everyday Life
Anxiety can affect a child's ability to attend school, complete work, participate in social situations or develop age-appropriate independence.
Some children may begin avoiding situations that cause worry, while others may need frequent reassurance or become distressed when routines change. Anxiety may also affect sleep, concentration, relationships and participation in activities they previously enjoyed. The impact will vary according to the type of anxiety, its severity and the child's circumstances.
Our Approach
Hiba by Anthalora supports children and young people in understanding anxiety, developing coping strategies and gradually participating in situations they may have been avoiding.
Care may involve psychological therapy, emotional regulation support, parent guidance and recommendations for school. Psychiatric input or medication may be considered where clinically appropriate.

How We Support
Following assessment, recommendations may include psychological therapy, emotional regulation and coping strategies, parent guidance, school recommendations or support with gradually approaching situations the child has been avoiding.
Psychiatric input may be recommended where appropriate. Medication may be considered and monitored by a psychiatrist when clinically indicated, but it will not be required for every child.
The recommended approach will be based on the child's age, needs and individual circumstances.
The Clinical Pathway
Every family receives a clear and structured journey, from the first referral through to personalised intervention and ongoing progress reviews.
A family, GP or school gets in touch. We listen carefully and gently open the door to support.
