Counselling
School stress, anxiety and counselling
Exams, friendship politics and the Sunday-night chest — Gia Bird on counselling for school-related stress in north Hampshire.
School is a full-time emotional job
Performance, peers, phones and sleep collide. Counselling will not sit the exam for anyone. It can help a young person notice what their body does on Sunday night and find a way through the week that is not only white-knuckle.
Practical and deeper
I mix tools with looking at root causes. Some weeks we need a plan for the next assembly. Some weeks we need to talk about why approval became oxygen.
Online via Teams
