ADHD and Anxiety Support Sydney
At Calmr Anxiety Coaching, we provide compassionate support for children with ADHD and anxiety in Sydney. We help children understand their emotions, manage anxious thoughts, and build coping skills that work for their unique needs.
Gentle Support for Children with ADHD and Anxiety
Children with ADHD often experience life in a more intense way. Hyperactivity, impulsivity, and attention challenges can make everyday tasks feel overwhelming. When anxiety is added into the mix, it can affect sleep, school performance, friendships, and self-confidence.
Understanding Anxiety in Children with ADHD
Children with ADHD are more likely to experience anxiety because their brains process emotions and stress differently.
Signs of anxiety in children with ADHD may include:
Excessive worry or rumination
Difficulty falling or staying asleep
Overthinking schoolwork or social situations
Emotional outbursts or frustration
Avoidance of challenging tasks
Low self-esteem or self-doubt
Recognising anxiety in ADHD children is the first step toward effective support.
Supporting Sleep and Daily Routines
Anxiety often interferes with sleep, and children with ADHD may have extra challenges with bedtime routines.
We help children and families:
Create calming bedtime routines
Manage racing thoughts at night
Reduce anxiety around homework and school responsibilities
Balance energy and focus during the day
Improving sleep and daily structure often reduces overall anxiety and improves confidence.
How ADHD Affects Emotional Regulation
ADHD can make it harder for children to regulate their emotions. Even minor frustrations can feel overwhelming, and anxious thoughts can escalate quickly.
Coaching focuses on helping children:
Recognise anxious thoughts and feelings
Develop emotional regulation skills
Learn practical strategies for school, friendships, and daily routines
Build confidence and self-esteem
Improve sleep and manage stress
Support is tailored to each child’s needs and temperament, ensuring they feel safe, understood, and empowered.
