Children Sessions
HOW CAN THE STILL METHOD HELP A CHILD?
You are here because you are a parent, carer or teacher who knows a child who is struggling to manage their anxiety and you're looking for a way to help them.
What makes the STILL Method so great is that the programme can be scaled up or down, depending on how old the children are, or how many are participating. It even works in groups where the children are of different ages, so it's a perfect fit for youth clubs and after school clubs.
The programme runs for 6 weeks for both 1-2-1 coaching or group sessions, both are detailed below.
The programme is fun and engaging and will create a shared space that encourages the children to participate, reflect, contribute their thoughts and feelings to the discussions, laugh and feel energised.
The STILL Method is brilliant in that it nurtures confidence and resilience in a way that motivates a child to want to be part of the shared experience.
As I have experienced severe anxiety, I know how daunting facing this challenge can be and I will be there to offer support and guidance throughout. I will make sure the child is comfortable and happy and I will always accept a child just the way they are. The child decides when and how to engage and on their terms.
The STILL method is designed so that minimal sharing in the triggers behind the persons anxiety is required for it to be incredibly effective.

CHILDREN 1-1 Coaching Programme | 6 Sessions
The STILL Method 1-1 Programme for Children runs over a series of six sessions, either face to face or on Zoom. Each session is broken down below:
Session 1
This session is designed to help the child develop an understanding of what anxiety is and how it forms. During the first session they will be introduced to techniques which give them control of overwhelming emotions.
Session 2
The child will be encouraged via visual aids, to talk about emotions and feelings in others and then recognise some of those states in themselves. This session focuses on building confidence.
Session 3
In the first part, the session games are played, exploring confidence and how that feels. The second part of the hour introduces states of anxiety and how to recognise them. They will then learn how to use state changing activities.
Session 4
By session 4, they will be encouraged to share their experiences. The session ends with a short, guided meditation, which encourages the use of holding onto and recreating positive emotions.
Session 5
Two techniques are introduced. One encourages listening to physical feelings and grounding, whilst the second supports them in learning how to reframe negative thought processes. The session aims to allow the child to have the tools to control their own happiness.
Session 6
In the final session, we will revisit the techniques and interventions learned in previous weeks, whilst being encouraged to explore the learning. The session closes with exercises which encourage them to build up their confidence around giving and receiving compliments, which is an ability that is fundamental in building self-esteem.

CHILDREN Group Coaching Programme
The STILL Method works brilliantly in group settings.
It can help the group members feel apart of something and help them to see that they are not alone and can provide a community for them.
Groups can be booked to run during school hours, or they also work brilliantly at youth clubs, holiday clubs and activity centres.
Each STILL Method group can have a maximum of 8 children join.
Pricing
£720 - for the full 6 Session programme, plus materials (£15 per session, per child for a group of 8)
