🌟 Exciting Growth in Our Lancaster Community! 🌟

We’re thrilled to welcome Sydney Parrish, LPC, to the ACE Psychological Services Lancaster team! Sydney brings a grounded and compassionate approach to therapy, rooted in Gestalt principles that help clients slow down, notice what’s happening in the present, and discover deeper awareness and connection.

Her work focuses on trauma recovery, co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns, and supporting individuals navigating life transitions or relationships impacted by recovery. Certified in HeartMath and trained in EMDR, Sydney integrates mind–body approaches that foster emotional balance, resilience, and lasting change.

Clients describe her as warm, curious, and collaborative—bringing both depth and practicality to every session.

Sydney will begin seeing clients in our Lancaster office next week and is currently accepting new patients!

✨ Stay tuned: there’s even more exciting news coming soon about our growing Lancaster location. Big things are ahead!

When a child seems defiant — refusing to follow instructions, melting down over “simple” requests, or pushing back against boundaries — it’s easy to see only the behaviour.

But often, what looks like defiance is actually anxiety in disguise.

Here are the Top 5 Anxiety Triggers for Children that can spill over into oppositional or challenging behaviour.

When we recognise the why behind the behaviour, we can respond with compassion and strategies that reduce anxiety — instead of escalating defiance.

💬 Which of these triggers do you see most often in your child or classroom?

NEWLY AVAILABLE to accompany our series on the topic. Only £3.25 until 7 October 2025.
