20m separation anxiety

my little boy has always been an amazing sleeper down at 7.30pm awake anytime after 7am. the last few nights his been waking up around 10.30pm screaming for us and refusing to go back to sleep unless his touching one of us/were in his room or his holding our hand
im putting it down to a stage of separation anxiety?
he naps once in the day for anything between 1-2hours and we put him in his cot awake of an evening and he goes off to sleep himself
any advice on how we can get past this stage?

I think you just have to respond to him. He will feel safe that way.
