Become an anxiety coach
As a coach you will inspire and support children and adults?
How did we develop the STILL Method and who is it’s creator?
The STILL Method was created by Stuart Thompson, who trained as a social worker and is now an award winning therapist. Stuart has been working with anxious adults and children for over 20 years. Stuart developed the STILL Method using his experience as a therapist, he wanted a system which addresses anxiety at it’s root cause.
As an anxiety coach you will be part of our team of STILL coaches from around the U.K, United States and Australia.
Your role as STILL anxiety coach is about so much more than teaching people to relax, you are providing essential tools to help people face challenges and feel empowered. The STILL Method is fun and engaging.

The STILL Method is a unique system, that can begin to help children overcome anxiety and build confidence. STILL Method coaches run clubs for children, groups for adults or work with individuals.
Our first coaches joined us in 2019 and since that time we have built a team across 7 countries. All our coaches join us from a range of backgrounds, from teachers to therapists to enthusiastic parents.
The level of interest further underlines how anxiety in young people is becoming a subject that concerns so many people.

Our coaches support people in a number of different ways. Some of our team work primarily with individual children and their parents, coaching them to achieve changes using the STILL Method. Our coaches work with children and young people aged 7-18 years.
Many of our coaches work within schools offering support or running after-school clubs. This year we have more clubs than ever starting in venues across local communities, such as village halls, leisure centres and one of our most popular clubs meets in a soft play centre. This year has also seen an increase in online clubs and sessions.
We also have team members who chose to work only with adults.
