Separation anxiety can become challenging when children experience significant distress about being away from parents or caregivers.
Your child may become upset at school drop-off, resist sleepovers, worry about something happening to you or struggle to spend time away from home.
Counselling & Therapy NZ provides support for children and parents navigating separation anxiety and related emotional difficulties.
Counselling may involve helping parents understand anxiety patterns, developing age-appropriate coping strategies, strengthening confidence and supporting gradual changes.
The approach depends on the child's age, developmental needs and circumstances.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is separation anxiety normal in children? Some separation anxiety is developmentally typical, particularly in younger children. Additional support may help when distress is persistent or significantly disruptive.
Can parents attend counselling without their child? Yes. Parent-focused strategies can be an important part of support.
