Questions, answered
Is this therapy or medical treatment?
No. This is a guided self-help experience built on practical, well-known methods. It is not therapy, diagnosis, or a replacement for a professional. If your feelings are intense or lasting, please speak with a doctor or mental-health professional.
Who is this session for?
Children who feel scared of teacher, school rules, correction, classroom environment, tests, or going to school.
Who is it NOT suitable for?
Bullying, school abuse, harsh punishment, severe school refusal, panic, trauma, repeated physical symptoms, or unsafe school situation. If a child’s anxiety affects school life, NHS recommends talking to the school and seeking help when anxiety is severe, persistent, or interfering with everyday life.
How long does it take?
About 35-45 min, split into small steps. You can pause and resume anytime, and revisit as often as you like.
Is my information private?
Yes. Anything you write in the activities is saved privately on your own device, never uploaded.
Do I get worksheets I can keep?
Yes. The session includes worksheets, trackers and a 7-day plan you can view on screen and download as a PDF.
