SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions)
SPACE is a parent-based treatment programme for children and teens with anxiety or OCD
You can help your child overcome their anxiety and OCD when you're equipped with the tools that help.
When you learn how to make the changes that help your child feel more supported while also reducing the accommodations you make for them, they can feel less anxious and function better in the world.
SPACE is a structured, therapeutic programme for parents. You'll be walked step-by-step through the approach which will help you modify your child's environment in a way that's most helpful for them.
Your child doesn't need to be willing to have therapy or to change, SPACE teaches you how to be the most effective parent you can for your anxious or OCD child.
SPACE empowers you and and your child.
It's a research-backed approach developed at Yale University
SPACE was developed by Dr Eli Lebowitz of Yale University and it's been shown to be effective in clinical trials. Dr Lebowitz has written several books and given many talks where you can learn more about SPACE. Below you can listen to his TED talk and watch a short documentary about SPACE exploring a family's experience working with it.

Hi, I'm Will
I'm a therapist specialising in working with teenagers and young people experiencing anxiety and OCD and their parents. Often parents want me to work with their children but those children aren't willing to be in therapy. SPACE offers a powerful way for me to empower parents to directly support their children to build the skills they need to thrive.
I trained in SPACE with Dr Lebowitz in 2020 and host peer supervision for practitioners in the UK.
