Feb 02,2023My son and daughter both 10 and 13 years old have been suffering from anxiety for a long time but mainly since my partner and I split up and moved into separate homes. At first we thought this would subside but it had got worse which was difficult for us to watch and no clue how to fix or find a solution. My son has self-harmed and my daughter won't speak with anyone. School hasn't helped as they both get bullied and have severe social anxiety when away from home. We had tried everything from CAMHS, Medication, Therapy, Teacher/ school support, Books, Parent Classes even Meditation but we only seen a few bits of progress then back to square one. They don't let me go to work for fear of something happening me and they hate the thought of school. I still live in our first home and they hate to leave it so visiting their dad is incredibly difficult. There is no sleeping pattern at all as they have a fears, sometimes my son would have a sever tantrum and explode at me aggressively if I don't do as he says. I sometime have fears myself that they will continue to self harm, not go to school and be held back from living their own lives but then Young Vibes popped up on my social media. I booked a call and from that day everything has changed, they offered us so much support for both children including myself and ex partner. They focused on the core issue which was recovering form anxiety, the process tailored around my two children and are finally back to being themselves again, I can now go to work and they are open to visiting their dad and school is progressing everyday. Most importantly they have no real fears or symptoms that we are worried or concerned about. This process promised to recovery anxiety and change our lives and it has done exactly that. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us.

Nov 22,2022We are still officially on this program after 10 months+ of trying to help our son. We have had some degree of success, but he is not back at school, and is still struggling with anxiety, although it is not as intense as it once was, and this is down to Young Vibes. The child psychologists are very good. They use good imagery to describe situations. He is glad he did the course. My child without anxiety has also benefited, as they go into ego states which is really useful. Unfortunately this program falls a little short on how to change habits, motivate a long-term sufferer and manage stress. I felt I was not supported well enough towards the end of the course, when he is supposed to be in Butterfly. I ended up repeating questions and getting the same answers that didn't work for us. I do feel a bit sad reading all of the other reviews, as I firmly believed at the start he was going to be cured, and that's what I told him. I followed the advice, but as a DIY'er and not through choice, I'm not really sure if I got through to him the same way a child mentor would have. When he can't divert his attention, what can you do, as this is an integral part of the 'cure'. I repeatedly asked about this, without any real answers. I did try my best, we all tried our best, so we'll stay on the CAMHS waiting list and keep on with the advice from YV. I have seen other people's kids being fixed in a matter of weeks, certainly didn't happen like that with us. I will say, they are legit, so don't let that stop you if you are on the fence. You might have to be prepared for rudeness and being talked to in an abrupt manner, a small price to pay if the course actually fixes your child. 99% of the staff are professional, but you will get mixed messages at times, and I actually saw a mum get booted off a session online for raising a question about medication, which the founder of this program makes no secret of being totally opposed to. If I hadn't been so desperate to help my son, I would have taken issue with the way she was spoken to at the time. This will be me now officially booted off the course! I suspect their response to this honest review will be that we didn't engage or some other thing we failed to do. There are only so many times you can watch all those videos that are in no particular order. All of the hope and good vibes I had at the start for this company has diminished with time. Anyway good luck to you all, may you get some peace and happiness soon.

Nov 14,2022My daughter was suffering from severe stomach pains, nausea, generalised body aches, lack of sleep, lose of appetite, etc which affected her general health, school attendance and quality of life. We had made several Doctors appointments, abdominal scans, dietary changes, mental health referrals and none worked. My daughter mentioned to me twice that she didn't want to live anymore. I felt helpless and didn't know who to turn to. One day I saw an advert on Facebook from Young Vibes. I contacted young Vibes for more information and was happy to hear someone atleast understood what my daughter was going through. I also liked the way Young Vibes includes families and schools into the program, and this made me even more hopeful. I joined Young Vibes with scepticism but also with hope that my child will be helped given the way the program is designed. You get so much help from very dedicated and knowledgeable mentors, the other families on the program, online videos and materials, etc. Right now my child is doing so much better, anxiety is gone, no more stomach pains. The only thing that still needs to improve is her eating. She still isn't eating as much as I would like. She is a much happier child going from not wanting to go out to now planning outings with her school friends. I know there are people who write negative things about the program for reasons only known to them, but as for me and all other families I interacted with on the program, I can honestly say this program works. Ofcourse you have to put in place everything you are taught, attend online parents sessions, and watch Sam's videos for your child to recover quickly. To all mentors at Young Vibes, thank you once again for your support in helping our children and their families. I also thank other families for sharing their experiences.

Nov 13,2022When approaching Young-vibes I was desperate for help with my daughter, nobody including doctors were really helping at all. From the first phone call with the Young-vibe team I finally felt understood and that someone was willing to help my child. I immediately started the program and then began to realise that I needed to change and work on myself too, which I did quite quickly, and what a difference it has made to my life and how I communicate with my daughter, and that was just the start. I look back now to see how much my daughter has grown and how everything is changing for the family because of this. To get to the stage of where we’re now with still a little to go, I can honestly say hand on heart I could not of done it alone and without the program I followed and the support I have received. I have been guided and instructed every step of the way. This formula works and I’ll be eternally grateful I found Young-Vibes when I did and for their continued support.

Nov 13,2022We’ve been on the program for around a month and must say it’s been life changing. Having Sam and the team there to help with our little girl has been amazing, guiding us through what has been a difficult journey thus far. We highly recommend this program to anyone suffering anxiety, it’s small steps and not an overnight fix which is what everyone wants but sadly that’s life so it may not be for all.

Nov 13,2022Young vibes has been a life changing experience for us all. At first i was sceptical after having tried everything; camhs, hyponotherapy, GP and anything else i could think of and after all of those not helping or working I felt helpless and exhausted. However, I was reassured by the expertise of the whole young vibes team. When i joined the programme, my daughter was very poorly and I can whole heartedly say that there were times I thought we would never come out the other side . Now after 8 months she is recovering, is learning to drive and has a job . She is growing in confidence day by day, she is able to recognise and manage her anxiety well with my support and all of our knowledge and skills have been learnt from the young vibes team. If you are considering joining the programme don't give it a second thought, join and give it your commitment. It will be so worth it

Nov 12,2022When we joined Young Vibes we were at a loss. Life was at an all-time low. I think it's safe to say Young Vibes saved us....the kids, us as parents....us as people! They just get it. They understand the complexities of families trying to survive with anxiety & how to unpick it. For us it's the parental advice that has had the greatest effect, the support & the fact that they don't just listen, they advise. In our lowest points it's having our mentor say "Do this...it works" that has turned our family round to be facing in the right direction. As anxiety survivors, we recommend it!

Nov 12,2022We are now towards the end of our journey with Young Vibes and can only say it has been transformative. I vividly recall the wave of relief when I came across the team through fb and felt that there was someone there that totally understood our situation and would hold our hands immediately - not be on some massive waiting list. There are so many options of sessions for parents throughout the week every week and your child gets a mentor on the background of set out modules of learning in bite size chunks, that you can access at your own pace on line. In retrospect of course it makes sense that the mums and dads get full support through recovering their child from anxiety- not just sessions for the child. You can also learn so much through listening to other families situations and advice given, which at no point is chastising, always supportive like some wise old aunt that you always went to as a child because she listened and spoke to you like an adult. The team are refreshingly frank in their delivery, often very humorous, drawing on their own experiences and success with other families, talking a lot of common sense and readily available for the stumbles along the way. It’s reassuring to see other families encountering similar problems in a pit of despair, but also hear from and follow other families further along in the programme recovering their child, which is very powerful direct feedback as you see the next step is in reach. Through YV we have had restored to us a calm, happy, sociable, capable, fun teenage girl who wants to be with us and we enjoy being with! She has handled bumps in the road of normal teenage life so well recently, with much greater self esteem. Would she have got there without YV… maybe….but at the point of signing up we were at the bottom of a great big pit that we are out of now with confidence that we can stay out, or at least know how to get out again. Just wish so much of the learning could be shared and readily available for all….would 100% recommend it.

Nov 12,2022If you want your child to have the best help then this is the place right here, we had no where else to turn as tried everything else, but to actually sign up and realise that actually it's the way we are parenting is one of the reasons for this behaviour was a big wow, the minute we started watching the portals and saying to eachother " that's so us" "that's what we do", was a huge wakeup call, now we're moving in to the last lap and we are certainly seeing a huge difference in our daughter, believe me its not easy and many a time I've wanted to leave my home and run away and not come back but the team have supported me no end and made me feel that there is nothing I can't do, I've felt awful and a bad mother but they've made me see that actually I'm an amazing mum and a great person , I've just had to change from my daughter dictating to me to actually me dictating , it works it really works!!!! I'm telling you this is hard but with the help of this amazing team and mentors you will get your child back !!! You will get your life back!!!!

Nov 12,2022Young vibes are truly compassionate and caring. They put children's well-being at the heart of everything they do. I am so grateful for the help and support that I have received from them this year. I feel so lucky that I found them and then trusted them to help my daughter recover - forever grateful - Helen

Nov 11,2022Where can I start, Our son Ollie and my wife and I had hit rock bottom at the end of the last summer school term . Our son’s anxiety was making his life dreadful. To see this young boy so sad just broke our hearts. We were told about young vibes through a friend of ours . After our initial meeting we just knew they understood and that in itself was like a light in the distance. My wife and I worked through the caterpillar stage which is designed to make us understand what anxiety is and how we as parents could change our attitude towards it regarding how we treated our son . Sam and her amazing team made sure we understood before we entered our son into the program. They gave Ollie a mentor ( Ashley) who very soon struck an amazing relationship with Ollie. Together young vibes gave us information and knowledge which is second to none . I can inform you that Ollie went back to school this week . The first morning was so tough but we just kept reminding ourselves of the program and now towards the end of the week , my wife and I just can’t believe this is the same boy from a few months ago. But this is just another stage on the road to recovery which young vibes will continue to help Ollie to a point he needs no more help. I cannot stress enough , if you read any bad reviews IGNORE THEM. If your child is suffering , please get in contact with Sam and her team. It’s LIFE CHANGING . Thankyou so much to Young Vibes

Nov 10,2022Almost half way through the programme and have seen some huge changes not only in our daughter but also in a happier, calmer family. Our daughter has gone from someone who struggled with the smallest of changes, hiding herself away and not being able to go out and socialise to now beginning to join groups and meet other children her age… a massive step. She is also happier and more confident in her own abilities. The whole team at young vibes are very supportive and understanding, the information that they provide is presented in a very clear way which is easy to understand and has enabled us to go away and practice different techniques that really do work. Thank you so much to everyone at young vibes, we’re looking forward to completing the rest of the course.

Nov 10,2022With some initial trepidation we decided to put our trust in young vibes when our daughter could no longer face going to school and we had no idea how to handle her chronic anxiety. Young vibes helped build us all up and gave us the understanding and knowledge to start making the changes that have lead to a confident young teenager who enjoys going to school again and has started making new friends and socialising. It wasn’t a quick fix and it wasn’t easy but boy was it worth it. We were so impressed with the ongoing support and encouragement we all received. We simply would not have found our way out the woods without young vibes guiding us. We are so grateful to the whole team!

Nov 09,2022After years of fruitless experiences with CAMHS, private psychiatrists and various different therapists, Young Vibes are the first people that have said “we know what the problem is, it’s not a mental illness and we know how to fix it”. It feels a massive relief, that we’re in expert hands. Everyone understands exactly what we and our son are going through, they are kind, compassionate, no-nonsense and practical. First the parents need to fully understand what’s going on and start to make changes, and then the child becomes involved which is the stage that we’re at. It’s too early yet for there to be any dramatic change in our son’s anxiety. However, the situation is already much easier to manage with the advice and support we’ve been given so far. We can see many families further on in the programme where the children have fully recovered, and I see no reason that this won’t be the case for us too.

Nov 09,2022Nearly two years ago our daughter had withdrawn from everything she had loved, friends, drama, shopping, family days out. She couldn’t cope with school, was self harming and had tried to end her life. We tried psychotherapy and camhs but this just made things worse. Our family was broken. Today our daughter is living her best life, she’s in college with a plan for uni. Back doing all the things she loved before, with such a big social life!! And the bit in the middle??Young Vibes. We were taken by the hand, and supported and educated how to help our daughter, she was resistant initially and didn’t make it easy! But….. we weren’t let go until she recovered. I still watch the daily videos to make sure we’re not slipping back into old habits. Young Vibes is a business, and has had different name changes as it has grown and changed to meet the needs that are out there. There will always be people who criticise but two years the proof is plain to see and we are so grateful to these amazing people who have a heart for our children. Thank you Sam and the team x

Nov 09,2022My experience with Young Vibes is very positive. My child is making progress with her anxiety. The very few bad reviews are from people who haven't even tried the program. Please read all the good reviews as those bad ones are probably just put there to discredit this program. Makes you wonder who is behind this...

Nov 09,2022Absolutely fantastic programme! The work ethic and passion that every person we dealt is incredible. They helped our family when we had nobody else to turn to and nobody to help us. As a family we are calmer, happier and having fun!! The team have worked tirelessly in enabling myself, my husband and our daughter to find a better path than the one we were on. We will never be able to thank them enough! Bob & Deirdre

Nov 04,2022Excellent. I had given up hope after pursuing other routes to no avail. These guys understand anxiety and deliver the program effectively. It’s absolutely achievable as long as the parents are committed to putting in the work too.

Nov 04,2022Update - I HAD A REPLY BELOW BUT THEY SEEM TO HAVE MIXED ME UP WITH SOMEONE ELSE I'll keep this brief but it deserves a review Its a sad world that desperate parents are too eager (ourselves included) to engage with a profit making company to try and get help for our Child, the facebook ads with hashtags of words like 'self harm' 'mental health' etc etc draws you in and one comment on one of their questionable review posts are you've been caught, a scary call from them stating your child could do and 'its only money' you feel you have no option but to sign up. They are not experts in this field and there offshore child mentors are certainly not CRB checked as they are not UK based. Its a dangerous game they play when every mental illness if just anxiety, including ADHD, eating disorders and trauma. Its dangerous to say this. yet Sam who is a self addressed expert would not accept this. Before you sign up do some research, maybe google 'YCFF' and 'Peaky Parents' and' Mental Health Profiteers' the radio program says it all. YV may work for some I'm sure but be warned

Feb 09,2023I have been blown away by this team of caring, experienced people who have helped my son tackle his issues and start to have a fresh perspective on life. I would whole heartedly recommend Young Vibes for any parent who is feeling at rock bottom, who doesn't know where to turn, and is looking for a solution. If I could give a hundred stars I would, I will be forever grateful.
