Hi, I’m Dr Rebecca Mount — but everyone calls me Beck.
I’m a Clinical Psychologist and mum of three, here to help parents stay connected with their anxious or withdrawn teens — even when it feels like nothing you say is getting through.
Because when anxiety takes hold, it affects the whole family. You want to be the steady hand they can rely on, but slammed doors and “I don’t care” moments can leave you feeling helpless or second-guessing yourself.
Here’s what I know: independence grows from connection, not disconnection. With 20+ years of experience (and plenty of lived experience as a mum), I specialise in giving parents the tools, insights, and support to respond in ways that keep connection alive.
From school struggles and meltdowns to avoidance and shutdowns, this is the place to feel less alone — and far more equipped.
Independence grows from connection, not disconnection.
When parents feel steady and supported, teens feel safe enough to grow.
You’ll find articles, resources, and practical guidance to help you understand what’s really going on for your teen — and what to do next. You’ll also discover ways we can work together, from free guides to community support inside The Anxious Teen Collective.
"Bravery doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it’s the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I’ll try again tomorrow."
Mary Anne Radmacher
This quote sums up my approach: bravery doesn’t mean battling alone — for parents or teens.
It’s about showing up, staying connected, and trying again, even on the hard days.
I’m a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years’ experience helping children, teens, and families navigate anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional struggles.
Over those years, I’ve seen one truth stand out again and again: when parents feel steady, teens feel safe.
I’m passionate about giving parents the tools and confidence to stay connected with their teens — even in the face of anxiety, shutdowns, and slammed doors. Because connection isn’t just comforting, it’s protective. It helps teens build resilience, regulate emotions, and step into independence with confidence.
I know this both professionally and personally. As a mum of three, I’ve lived those “I don’t care” moments and the stress of teenage years. I know how easy it is to feel shut out, guilty, or unsure if you’re doing the right thing.
That’s why I created The Anxious Teen Collective and Anxiety Allies — my online spaces for parents who want to feel less alone and more equipped to support their teen through anxiety, overwhelm, and the ups and downs of adolescence.
My belief is simple: parents don’t need to be perfect. They just need the right support — and that’s what I’m here to share.
Looking back on summer holiday memories (even with some moments of chaos, there were plenty of little moments I’ll treasure).
Getting back into regular routines — including eating healthier and cutting back on the extra glasses of wine that seem to sneak in during the relaxed summer months 🙃.
Feeling a bit sad to wave goodbye to summer, but excited for crisp mornings, cosy jumpers, and the leaves starting to turn.
Starting to plan some small things to look forward to in the run-up to Christmas (yes, I know it seems early — but it helps me feel grounded when I’ve got nice things on the horizon!).
