“Anxiety in Children is Originally nothing other than an expression of the fact that they are feeling the loss of the person that they love” Freud, S. (1926)

“What once made you safe, now drives you insane” Wax, R. (2012)

“Professionals always asked me ‘why’, I’d inevitably get the answer wrong, I genuinely didn’t know ‘why’ I felt/behaved as I did. Until one teacher just let me ‘be’, boundaries were put in place and consistency was implemented, only then things started to shift” Cook, C. (2013) Founder of The Thinking Pod

“The catastrophe you fear will happen has already happened” Winnicott, D.W.

“Most of the really exciting things we do in our lives will scare us to death” Dahl, R.

Hi, I'm Charlotte, and I’m a Child, Adolescent & Parent psychoanalytic psychotherapist.

Drawing on years of lived experience, academic research and clinical training, I developed 'The Breakthrough Programme', a psychoanalytic and parent centred approach designed to support anxious children.

The programme integrates my Parent Insight Method, which empowers parents to understand their child's emotional world, reduce anxiety maintaining patterns and build confidence and resilience.

Anxiety is not a child being stubborn, neither is it just a feeling that can be ignored! It is a communication that is telling us something important and by understanding what it's telling us we can help children manage it.
