There are number of places that can help, however so far nothing that can give you all under one roof (at least when it comes to quality).
TGS 'thing' is quite mysterious, as there are at least two OT centres, one ST, couple of similar in the profession and none of them really caters to the needs of children with anxiety problems...

That would be one of the places to look for.
dr Robyn Marcou is well known ans respected, has a long referral list to recommend professionals

I think if you go to visit neighbourhood community centre, there will be brochures abound with contact of various counselling centre.
There are autism, special needs schools and children/ youth counselling
or even hotlines that you might call for SOS.
The causes of anxiety is varied .. so you need to discover the underlining source, whether from the child's environment or the people around.
