Helping Anxious, Overwhelmed Children Feel Safe Enough to Try Again
If your child is shutting down, glued to screens, avoiding school, or exploding over small things — you’re not dealing with “bad behaviour.”
You’re seeing a nervous system stuck in survival mode.
I help children calm from the inside out —
so confidence, focus, and motivation can return naturally.
WHO THIS IS FOR
I typically work with children and teens who:
feel anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly on edge
shut down, avoid, or say “I don’t know” to everything
react strongly to small triggers
struggle with confidence or fear of failure
escape into screens because real life feels too much
I typically work with with parents who:
have already tried logic, consequences, and reassurance
feel exhausted repeating the same conversations
want to help without pushing, bribing, or rescuing
If that’s you — you’re in the right place.
HOW I HELP CHILDREN
I don’t start by fixing behaviour.
I start by helping the child feel safer.
That might look like:
Calming big emotions without telling them to “calm down”
Helping an anxious mind slow when worry won’t stop
Reducing emotional overload before working on school or behaviour
Rebuilding confidence after repeated failure or pressure
Many children can’t explain what they’re feeling —
and I don’t expect them to.
I work in ways that don’t rely on long conversations or forcing insight.
As the body settles, parents often notice:
01 Fewer Meltdowns
03 Better focus and cooperation
02 Less Shutdown or Avoidance
04 More Willingness to Try
Change happens without force — because safety comes first.
HOW PARENTS ARE SUPPORTED
Parents are not left guessing.
I help you understand:
why reactions keep happening
what escalates or calms your child
how to respond without making things worse
how to support progress at home
When parents and children feel safer together, progress happens faster.
ABOUT JESSIE
Hi, I’m Jessie Liew
I’m a Clinical Hypnotherapist, EMDR practitioner, and mother of four.
I used to teach digital parenting strategies —
and they worked… until they didn’t.
Because the real issue was never the screens.
It was what the child was trying to escape.
My work focuses on helping children feel emotionally safe —
so change doesn’t feel like pressure.
That’s why I created simple, safety-first tools like the CalmKit —to help families start without overwhelm.
