Back-to-school anxiety is a real experience for both children and their parents or carers.

The transition back to school can be a stressful time, and you might notice your child feeling nervous about new routines, schoolwork, or friendships. It's important to understand that this anxiety is a normal part of returning to school and usually lessens over a few weeks.

However, if you observe significant emotional or behavioural changes in your child—such as stomach aches, fatigue, trouble sleeping, or isolating themselves—it may be helpful to discuss these feelings with them. You could also reach out to the school’s pastoral care team or their teacher for support.

Here are some tips to help support your child's return to school and manage their anxiety:

- Re-establish school routines, such as bedtimes, and prepare school bags and clothes in advance.
- Arrange a meet-up with their school friends before the term begins.
- Discuss any changes they might face, such as a new school or class, and talk about ways to navigate those changes.
- Plan the logistics for the first day, including drop-off arrangements and who they will travel to and from school with.

In addition, grounding techniques like deep breathing exercises or mindful walks can be beneficial to ease the transition together.

If you need more support, please feel free to contact us for an informal chat.

Riding the waves of depression:

"Depression can swiftly overtake you like the tide rolling in, its current pulling you out to sea. It is like drowning, like suffocating beneath the surface as the world goes on above you. The water muffles sound and slows your movements. There is only darkness below, and it threatens to swallow you whole. You feel the fluid rush between your fingers as you try to fight towards the surface. You long to breathe again, to hoist this heavy weight off your chest, alleviate this pressure in your lungs. Sometimes you want to give up... But I started to fight. I decided I would do all I could to try to ride out the waves of depression instead of drowning in them. (Charlie)

If you're struggling with depression, seeking help is crucial and can make a significant difference. Contact us for a free consultation @gmail.com 97 629634

Life has a way of throwing challenges our way. It can feel like drowning in a sea of emotions, but healing is possible. It's not always linear, and that's okay.
Healing isn't a destination; it's a journey. Some days will be tough, but progress is happening, even when it doesn't feel like it.

Counselling EU offer a free consultation, and an opportunity to learn about how psychotherapy can help you on your journey to better mental health and wellbeing. It's a chance to ask questions and share any fears or concerns you may have.

Ανακάλυψε τη δύναμη της δημιουργίας μέσα από τον πηλό και δώσε στα συναισθήματά σου μορφή. Σε αυτά τα βιωματικά εργαστήρια, θα χρησιμοποιήσουμε τον πηλό ως εργαλείο αυτοέκφρασης, συναισθηματικής ρύθμισης και διαχείρισης άγχους σε συνδυασμό με γνωσιακές συμπεριφορικές τεχνικές.

📌 Τι περιλαμβάνει το εργαστήριο;
🔹 Χρήση του πηλού ως μέσο αυτοέκφρασης και διαχείρισης συναισθημάτων.
🔹 Αναγνώριση και αναδιαμόρφωση αρνητικών σκέψεων με τεχνικές CBT.
🔹 Βιωματικές ασκήσεις που ενισχύουν τη σύνδεση σώματος και νου.
🔹 Δημιουργία συμβολικών έργων που αντικατοπτρίζουν την προσωπική διαδρομή κάθε συμμετέχοντα.

✨ Τι θα κερδίσεις;
✔️ Βαθύτερη κατανόηση των σκέψεων και συναισθημάτων σου.
✔️ Νέα εργαλεία για τη διαχείριση του άγχους και των αρνητικών μοτίβων σκέψης.
✔️ Δημιουργική διέξοδο για την αυτοέκφραση και την ενίσχυση της αυτοπεποίθησης.
✔️ Έναν ασφαλή χώρο για προσωπική ανάπτυξη και ενδοσκόπηση.

Counselling, Psychotherapy and Training Services

Past:

After spending many years working in the field of addictions, I became interested in the psychological interventions available to young people and adults; and began my counselling training in 1997. After qualifying I set up my own busy practice and have worked extensively for associated service providers such as local authorities, drug and alcohol services, mental health services, GP practices and educational services; both in managerial and clinical roles. Since 2004 I have managed specialised young peoples and adults drug services in the London Borough of Southwark and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and also supervised and led clinical services.

Having initially undertaken training in a Men’s Personal Development programme in 1997, I continued to explore this area, and trained extensively in working with men over a 20 year period. I have substantial experience of delivering programmes in the UK, Europe and Australia; and have been privileged to work with many of the leading facilitators in today’s world of men’s work.
