About the Practice
When anxiety is growing but specialist CAMHS is not the right first door, Leeds families need a route that can act early. MindMate Children’s Psychological Wellbeing Service Leeds supports Leeds families with play-based and counselling-style emotional wellbeing support for children who need more than another conversation at the kitchen table. The focus is safer expression, stronger connection and practical understanding for the adults around the child.

Clinical Expertise
Low-intensity CBT, parent-led CBT, gradual exposure, cognitive restructuring and behavioural activation

Mild to moderate anxiety, low mood, avoidance, worries and everyday functioning difficulties

Parent-led CBT can support younger children where anxiety overlaps with neurodivergent stress or school avoidance

Why Work With Us?
Leeds NHS Psychological Wellbeing Route: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.

Low-Intensity CBT and Parent-Led Support: Play, creative work and counselling-style support help children communicate through action, story, art, movement and relationship when direct questions only make them close down.

Parent and School Connection: Parents can understand what kind of anxiety support is available locally and when private counselling might still be useful.
