Triple P Fear-Less.

Triple P Fear-Less is an evidence-based parenting program for caregivers of children experiencing anxiety and excessive worry. In individual sessions, the program is tailored to your child’s specific fears, patterns of avoidance, and developmental stage.

Informed by social learning theory and cognitive-behavioural principles, Triple P Fear-Less supports caregivers to understand how anxiety operates and to apply practical strategies directly to real-life situations within their family.

In this structured, 6 session program, parents can expect to:

  • Develop a clearer understanding of how anxiety presents in their child, including the patterns that keep it going

  • Build practical skills for responding to anxiety in calm and consistent ways, tailored to their family context

  • Learn how to support gradual exposure to feared situations using real, everyday examples

  • Practise coaching their child through anxious moments, with 1:1 support from a practitioner

  • Reflect on how caregiver responses influence children’s confidence and learning over time

  • Gain confidence implementing strategies through ongoing professional guidance, feedback, and troubleshooting

FAQ

  • Yes! If you are a parent of a child under 12 and living in Australia, a self-paced, online version of Triple P Fear-Less can be accessed via Triple P Online for free for up to a year . I encourage you to try the free resource first, and decide for yourself whether the program feels like a good fit for your family and your parenting goals.

    Some parents find the online format provides everything they need. Others prefer more personalised guidance and support as they put the strategies into practice, particularly when parenting challenges feel more difficult, emotionally charged, or specific to their child’s temperament or developmental needs.

  • When Triple P is delivered in a one-to-one format with a trained psychologist, the program becomes a collaborative and tailored process guided by a professional mental health practitioner rather than a self-directed course.

    This means:

    • The strategies are adapted to your child’s age, temperament, and specific behavioural or emotional profile

    • We focus on the real situations that are happening in your home right now

    • You receive compassionate, non-judgemental support from a real person as you practise new skills

    • We troubleshoot obstacles together so you’re not left feeling stuck or unsure

    • The pace is adjusted to suit your family

    • We integrate the program with your broader parenting values and goals

    • You are supported to stay consistent, reflective and confident when things don’t go to plan

    For many families, this personalised support is what turns helpful ideas into meaningful, sustainable change, and can reduce the likelihood of more significant emotional or social difficulties developing over time.
