It's a partnership.

Composure creates a partnership with young people and parents: we help young people thrive.

We use effective, evidence-based talking therapy to nurture a young person’s mental well-being and psychological flexibility.
Composure develops your and your child’s understanding of how their difficulties developed and how to manage them. We work with your child directly to overcome their worries, fears and obstacles.

We can also work with you, the parents, to support you to deliver consistent messages to your child and assist your child to learn, practice, apply and maintain new psychological skills.

Composure helps you to help your child so that they may be happy and successful.

Joe (11 years old) and Mother (Linda)

Anxiety, Bullying & School transition

Linda contacted Composure Psychology explaining she was concerned about her son, Joe and his high anxiety and fear about moving from primary to secondary school. One of our Clinical Psychologists met Joe and Linda together and individually to discover their concerns, perspectives and motivations for change. Joe disclosed that he was also worried about the bullying he had experienced and how it might continue at his new school.

Joe attended 12 weekly sessions in which he was helped to become aware of his thinking patterns and how some of them had become automatic and negative. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness exercises and two easy to read books, the psychologist developed Joe’s ability to manage worries, challenge unhelpful thinking and learn about preventing and overcoming bullying. New strategies and home practice were generated for Joe to try out between sessions.
