Evidence-informed anxiety support for ages 5-17
Clinically-grounded tools that teach children their worry alarm is often wrong — and empower parents to support without accidentally growing the anxiety.
Free forever plan. No credit card required.
If any of these feel like your mornings, evenings, or school runs — you're not alone. And you're not doing it wrong.
"I can't go to school today, my tummy hurts"
Every. Single. Morning.
"Can you check under my bed again?"
The 4th time tonight — and you know saying "yes" makes tomorrow worse.
"What if nobody talks to me at the party?"
So you end up cancelling. Again.
"Don't leave! Stay until I fall asleep"
You love them. But you're exhausted. And you wonder if giving in is helping or hurting.
The worry is real. The suffering is real. But the avoidance pattern keeping it alive? That can change.
Three connected loops — your child learns, you learn, and the worry loses its grip.
A gentle intake creates a personalised Worry Profile — not a diagnosis, but a map of your child's unique anxiety patterns across 8 dimensions.
Your child builds a Fear Ladder of graded brave steps. Before each step, they predict how scary it will be. After, they discover the alarm was usually wrong.
You track your own accommodation patterns. Your child sees their Brave Power grow. Weekly reports show the worry losing its grip on your family.
Age-adaptive interfaces — what a 7-year-old sees is different from what a 14-year-old sees.

Clinical insight, coaching, scripts
Not a mindfulness app. Not a chatbot. A structured clinical intervention for the whole family.
Children predict how scary something will be, do it, then discover the alarm was wrong. This is how real confidence forms.
We track accommodation — the patterns that accidentally maintain anxiety. Based on the SPACE framework from Yale.
Detects ADHD and autism-linked patterns and adapts — shorter tasks, visual supports, predictable sequences.
Every celebration rewards trying, not low anxiety. A terrified child who did it anyway gets the biggest celebration.
Social, separation, generalised, performance, health, specific fears, OCD-like, and selective mutism patterns — all mapped.
Real-time safety monitoring, crisis resources always available. ICO Children's Code compliant. Data never sold.
Exposure-based CBT is the most effective treatment for childhood anxiety. But most families can't access it.

myworries isn't a replacement for therapy. It's the intervention that helps while you wait, supplements what your therapist does, and gives families tools to keep progress going at home.
myworries is built on decades of clinical evidence for childhood anxiety interventions.
Exposure-based CBT helps children learn that their worry alarm is often wrong — building genuine confidence through experience, not reassurance.
Craske et al., 2014 — Inhibitory Learning Model
When parents reduce accommodation — the well-meaning changes they make to help their child avoid anxiety — children improve as much as with direct therapy.
Lebowitz et al., 2020 — SPACE Treatment (Yale)
Prediction testing ("How scary will it be?" vs "How scary was it?") is one of the most powerful mechanisms for anxiety reduction in children.
