Have you met the gremlins? They’re troublesome creatures who like nothing more than to feed off big, tricky feelings!

This award-winning series of engaging workbooks from mental health practitioner Kate Collins-Donnelly helps young people understand their feelings through the principles of CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy).

Kate Collins-Donnelly has worked as a therapist, psychologist, criminologist, and anger management consultant for many years. Her workbooks navigate a range of topics including anxiety, depression, and anger, through fun activities and real-life stories.
