Would I be able to join the Army if I used to have counselling sessions for anxiety as a child?

I was recently PMU from the RAF due to me attending CAHMS appointments between the ages of 8-14 for general anxiety. I have never self-harmed and have never been on medication. I do not suffer from anxiety or depression now at age 17 and was wondering if this would be a disqualifying factor to join.

    Sometimes the requirement would be to be clear from treatment or symptoms for 5+ years however this would be due to specific reasons or conditions. The medical team will be able to provide more information and will make the final decision.
