Skill Up: Executive Functioning Workshops & Sessions

We run a short series of workshops for young people and their parents to support young people to strengthen their executive functioning skills. We can also offer this work individually and with the support of live coaching too.

Through a series of engaging and practical sessions, your child will learn to:

Keep organised

Plan, prioritise, and organise tasks effectively

Manage time

Manage time and stay on top of deadlines

Maintain focus

Improve focus, motivation, and follow-through

Manage emotions

Regulate emotions and cope with stress

Solve problems

Set goals and solve problems with confidence

Our programme is delivered by our qualified Clinical Psychologists and utilises evidence-based strategies that work in real life, not just theory. At CY&A Psychology, we offer a supportive environment tailored to your child’s developmental needs.

Executive functioning involves a set of coordinated cognitive skills that help your child engage in purposeful, goal-directed, self-regulated behaviour (McCloskey, 2012) and develop self-regulation: the ability to pause, adjust actions and work toward goals (Barkley, 2012).

Challenges with executive functioning skills are often seen in neurodivergent young people (such as in ADHD, Autism and Tourette’s Syndrome) and in young people with anxiety disorders. However, many young people experience these difficulties without any other diagnosis.

If your child is struggling with organisation, focus or managing day-to-day responsibilities then this programme can help them.

Please see our events page to book or register your interest.

Empower Your Teen: Evidence-Based Strategies to Thrive

While we welcome enquiries for all ages, our upcoming cohort is specially designed for young people aged 13–16. This small, supportive group meets in person at our townhouse practice in Marylebone.

To ensure lasting change, our program includes a dedicated parent workshop. This session equips you with the same skills and techniques your child is learning, allowing you to provide consistent support at home.

Location: 10 Wyndham Place, London, W1H 2PU
Student Workshops: £350 (Series of 3)
Parent Workshop: £125

Next Steps: We offer ongoing psychological interventions and “Homework Coaching Groups” to help students integrate these new skills into their daily lives.

When you visit...

Set in a quiet corner of Marylebone, our townhouse setting has been thoughtfully designed to create a welcoming, comfortable, and calming environment for children, young people, and their families.
