Kate Collins-Donnelly has worked as a therapist, psychologist, criminologist and anger management consultant based in the UK for many years. She runs a successful independent consultancy practice which provides cognitive behavioural therapy, counselling, coaching and training, and is head of the Psychological and Criminological Research Division. She is the author of several books for children and young people published by JKP, including Banish Your Body Image Thief, Banish Your Self-Esteem Thief and the Starving the Gremlin series.

This workbook is an excellent resource for young people suffering from anxiety... The author, Kate Collins-Donnelly, has an extensive background in therapy and counselling and she demonstrates her comprehensive knowledge in this book... Through a series of questionnaires and exercises, the reader is able to explore and understand their own experiences with the gremlin so as to more efficiently deal with it... I really liked about this book was the use of pictures, games and questionnaires to keep the information fresh and easy to digest. The information has great practical application in real life and I found myself really engaging with the material and filing away the knowledge should a gremlin take up residence in my life!
