Lumi Nova therapeutic intervention
Tue 17 Jun 2025Lumi Nova is an engaging child-led, parent/guardian supported therapeutic intervention that can be used on most smartphones or tablets. It is for children aged 7-12 years old who are experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, such as:
- Phobias e.g. Being afraid of spiders or insects, heights, being near dogs, or the dark.
- Social anxiety e.g. Feeling worried about making new friends, going to social events.
- Separation anxiety e.g. Unable to sleep alone, worried about being away from parents, going to school
Lumi Nova includes two of the most effective parts of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) that are proven to help treat fears, worries and anxiety. These two parts are psychoeducation - learning about worry, and exposure therapy - facing your fears. It starts by setting a Mission for the child to work towards. Each Mission is broken down into 3 goals, which they can achieve by completing small challenges. Breaking down their worries helps young people learn that they can face their fears while building their confidence!
Lumi Nova is free in Gloucestershire and can be accessed by going to www.luminova.app/glos
