Oct 11,2024We have completed the full programme today. Our son is back at school. Our family is functioning normally and happily, with lots more fun and lightness. We are sad to leave this amazing group of coaches and the community. However we leave confident in our parenting and equipped with many tools and levers that we can keep using as we navigate through the teenage years. The personally tailored, regular coaching via zoom calls is absolutely amazing and coupled with the videos and lots of other supports makes this a wonderful formula . The coaches are brilliant and will work tireless to help recover your child, as long as you are willing to put in the work. We were reluctant to join at first but the introductory videos resonated so strongly. How glad we are that we joined as everything has changed for the better in a matter of months. Thank you.

Oct 05,2024Testimonial for the Anxious to Awesome Online Course: "My husband and I embarked on the Anxious to Awesome journey together, taking our time to thoroughly engage with each module. The experience has been nothing short of transformative for both of us. We’ve gained invaluable insights and tools that have significantly reduced our anxiety and enhanced our overall well-being. The sense of achievement we feel from the changes we've made is immense, and we can genuinely say this course has made a profound difference in our lives. We’re excited to continue applying what we’ve learned and are eager to explore the next steps in our journey. Thank you for creating such a valuable program!"

Oct 03,2024This program is a life saver. As parents we were helpless, CAMHS support, GP visits, Youth Works, Private counselling nothing seemed to help our child recover. We now understand anxiety so much better and are stronger and able to parent our children differently, our home is a happier place! Looking forward to the next chapter. Thank you to all the team at Young Vibes.

Oct 02,2024Mission accomplished! It wasn’t easy but it was so worth it. Thinking back only a few months ago my daughter wouldn’t leave the house. Now I can’t keep her in…!!! This program is on a different level and I see how some might find it uncomfortable as it goes against the grain a lot but that’s the point. Where everything else failed, this program certainly delivered. By changing the way you see and deal with your anxious child, you become a different parent and then watch your child transform. I was impressed by the way you are supported throughout the program by various coaches (depending on what phase of the program you’re in). The communication was always on point, helping hand available whenever needed. Thank you to Davina, Sam, Hannah, Anne and Lauren for all your support. Even though I have now completed the program, I’ve taken the option of staying on, knowing I can always ask for advice should I need it or just chat to the coaches via zoom sessions. 5 out of 5 from me!

Oct 01,2024We have just finished the first part of this journey and have a much clearer understanding of what my son feels on a daily basis and why daily life is a struggle. Understanding is the first step and I feel extremely hopeful that we will get there with the help that is provided

Sep 26,2024I have just finished the first section of the program, the bee portal. My approach towards my daughter's behaviour changed with better understading of her condition and she became much calmer and happier. Sam's videos are extremely knowledgeable with insights from her own experience dealing with anxiety. Hannah is very approachable and helpful in daily zoom sessions. I am really looking forward to the next part of the program.

Sep 26,2024I was unsure initially about the programme but after completing the first section have changed the way I interact with my daughter which has helped. I have especially enjoyed the zoom sessions chatting to Hannah and listening to other parents. I am looking forward to starting the next part of the programme

Sep 25,2024Well what a journey from the depth of despair , frustration and anger to getting our son I have learned so much. I can’t thank Sam and the team enough you all have the patience of saints . Dads go on the Dad only zooms even if you just watch , we are not alone in this struggle and even just listening to other dads I found a great help ! We took longer than the 12 weeks but that was us and life getting in the way . Would I do it again ? most definitely yes but 6 months sooner before we had tried other methods ! Thankyou

Sep 24,2024This program has done for our son what CAHMS, his school, anxiety specialists, ASD specialists, STARS, ELSAs and many other NHS / Government organisations couldn't - they got us our boy back! Our 10 year son had been suffering with an anxiety disorder for 3 years, it had got to the point that it effected every part of his and our lives. He'd developed OCD and a germ phobia, he couldn't go to school, he didn't like going out, he didn't want to be near extended family, he just wanted to stay home and play computer games and the rest of the household (including his younger brother) spent their whole time treading on eggshells to avoid a meltdown. 4 months on we have our confident, outgoing, funny, friendly, people loving boy back, and I can't thank Young Vibes enough! School is still a challenge for our son, but Young Vibes are supporting him and us as parents every step of the way - they're not giving up on him like the other organisations - and very slowly he is getting there! With Young Vibes support, we know he'll go on to make a full recovery!

Sep 24,2024The programme’s parent led approach has really helped us, and we’ve learned how best to behave with our son, and provide an environment which enabled him to calm down and deal with issues in a more constructive way. The programme requires time and effort from parents, but this definitely pays off. The support from the team available on a daily basis really helped during the difficult times (our son was quite violent). Occasionally the number of parents on a particular call meant that I didn’t get chance to speak, but I haven’t experienced that recently, and the frequency and timing of sessions has been altered, which I expect has helped. Our son is more resilient and confident, is back in school, and his behaviour at home is far calmer, and I don’t think we could have achieved that without the support of this programme.

Sep 23,2024We have now completed the first section of the program and I have a much better understanding of my own and my child’s anxiety. When we started we were in a very difficult place and felt uncertain about my child’s future. My daughter has been to school several times since the start of the new year which is much better than where we were at the end of term in July. Although there is still a long way to go I am excited to move onto the next stage of the program and can now see light at the end of the tunnel! ☺️💕

Sep 22,2024We’ve just completed the first part of the programme and in just a few weeks my 9 year old boy has gone from being completely agoraphobic to getting out on dog walks and scooter rides with the family. I’m really looking forward to getting him involved in the programme and making more progress, and feeling really thankful that these wonderful people are healing our family.

Sep 20,2024I was spending £50 on drama therapy a week, meeting with 'professionals' and doing everything the school was asking of us which included phased returns and low level contact. Nothing was helping, in fact I'm confident enough to say it was all making things so much worse. I felt powerless and hopeless watching my daughter struggle. I saw the Young Vibes video but didn't engage for a while because I was worried about getting involved in a course that I'd found on Facebook. Once I eventually took the leap, I immediately felt relief. I understood what was happening to my daughter and felt the pressure lift off us both. The support you receive for the price is unbelievable, and the team are amazing. I'm seeing so many positive changes in my daughter and in the way I parent, and I've only finished the first module. I know I'm in the right place and I feel hopeful for the future for the first time in a long time.

Sep 19,2024This is my second review but 8 weeks on. So much more improvement in my daughter and I thought the 1st 4 weeks were unbeatable. The team has really built my daughter’s confidence to the point where she is starting to test herself with returning to school after 8 months of school refusal. My daughter has her life back and that’s all thanks to Young Vibes!

Sep 19,2024This program will surprise you. You won’t have had anything close to the level of support that Sam and her team provide and you won’t have had the deep understanding and truly counterintuitive methodology that breaks the cycle of struggle for your family. At this point we are about to move on from the first part of the program where the focus is on the parents. From what we’ve experienced we are excited for the children to now join too. We’ve been given the knowledge that starts the process of change and suddenly it makes sense. I came on this course to recover my children but to my amazement and delight we’ve recovered ourselves. Dealing with kids who are struggling, without the right support from schools or health professionals, being told all manner of things that don’t help and make your children worse, is draining, bewildering and frightening - the parents, as well as the kids, are easily lost along the way. Myself and my husband have a new found confidence, clarity of mind and a well defined and supported structure which we can follow. There is not only hope, there is real belief in the recovery of our children. For those who have seen the negative reviews or are worried about the cost - we were those parents too. It’s easy to judge from the outside and dismiss what you don’t fully understand, but it’s not what you fear. You are in a vulnerable place and you are not wrong to question the motives of people you find online but here you will only find passionate and insightful people who have walked the walk, not just talked the talk. Please be bold and do something different so that you can have a different, happy future for you and your family.

Sep 18,2024My wife and I have just come to the end of the first part of what is a 3 or 4 segment program which has involved the parents learning and appreciating what anxiety is, from where it stems, and how the way in which we act and what we say can have an effect. The numerous videos to view throughout the process have been very informative and more than a little chastening as it does reveal things about yourself that you may never have realised, whilst the Zoom sessions are humbling, practical and make you realise that you and your family are not alone. We feel that now we are in a lot better position both through knowledge and an improved home environment to introduce our daughter to the process and move on to the next stage.

Sep 17,2024Another glowing review for this brilliant, life-changing, awesome program. We are now in month 3 and the changes within our household have been nothing short of unbelievable. If you would have asked me a few months ago if I could imagine my daughter getting herself to bed and shutting her bedroom door at the age of 10, I would have thought you were bonkers! It sounds crazy but this was the level of anxiety that our daughter had, she couldn't be left on her own in the house, even if I was just going out into the garden, she has continuously struggled at school with friendships and bullying. Whilst not refusing school as such, I realised that with secondary not too far away, that refusal was possibly next on the cards. I came across Sam and immediately it piqued my interest, here was someone who knew what they were talking about, no frills, no bulls**t, but simply telling you how it is. The support that you receive as a parent and a child on the program is first class and worth every penny, our daughter has made connections with others in the same situation, as have we as parents, you automatically feel that you are in safe hands and in the right place and the zoom calls have helped us so much. Do not wait to jump on board, I promise that the only regret you will have is that you didn't do it sooner.

Sep 17,2024I knew talk therapy wasn’t helping my child and was looking for an alternative. Luckily, I found Young Vibes and 3 weeks in I feel my home and child are much happier and relaxed. I have recommended this to lots of people I know already as it is amazing.

Sep 15,2024After months of meetings with school, numerous doctors appointments, cbt therapy and referral to cahms nothing seemed to be working for my daughter who is currently 15. I was feeling let down by the system and was at a loss of where to turn next. Whilst scrolling through Facebook a lady called Sam from Young Vibes kept popping up. I listened to several of her videos for a couple of weeks and must admit every video is very true as I myself have suffered from anxiety for many years. So without any further thought I enrolled on the programme and pulled Sophie out of school. The relief on her face was enough to know I'd done the right thing. I have now just finished bumblebee and can't wait for the next stage where Sophie gets involved and we can start our journey together as a family. :)

Oct 11,2024We have just finished bee and found the process to be very insightful. I did think that we already knew a lot about anxiety, however i can now see that some of our behaviours have been feeding into our sons anxiety. Wanting to comfort and protect him so much from feeling as awful as he did at his worst, has not allowed him to build the resilience he needs to be able to recover. We have made some small changes and are feeling positive for the future. Looking forward to the next steps. Thank you to the team for all of your support so far 🙏
