One of the biggest misconceptions about school avoidance in young people is that it’s a choice.

Your child or young person isn’t choosing to struggle with school, whether that’s getting there, staying there, or coping with the day, their brain is telling them that it’s just not safe.

Even if the environment feels fine to us as adults, it can be experienced as a real threat, even when they’re not in actual danger.

Understanding this is the first step to understanding EBSA and how to support your child with their anxiety around school.

I had a fantastic live session yesterday inside the Extraordinary Minds membership where we explored this more deeply, and looked at what we can begin to do to help regulate a child’s nervous system.

If this is something you’re navigating as a parent of an anxious child, please know you’re not alone and there is support out there 💛

I’m so proud to now being officially opening my Extraordinary Minds parent support group 💛

Over the past few months, I’ve seen just how many parents are trying to support teenagers who are struggling with anxiety, often feeling overwhelmed, alone, and unsure where to turn.

Not everyone has the time, capacity, or finances for 1:1 therapy
but that doesn’t make your need for support any less important.

That’s why I created Extraordinary Minds ✨

A space designed to support you in a way that feels flexible, accessible, and genuinely helpful alongside real life.

Inside the Extraordinary Minds parent support group, you’ll find a growing library of tools, guidance, and support that works around different learning styles, busy schedules, and varying budgets.

Here’s what you’ll receive:

💛 Two live online group sessions with me each month
A supportive space where you can ask questions and receive personalised guidance

💛 A resource library that continues to grow each month
With immediate access to:
• Understanding EBSA
• A Parent’s Guide to Section 19
• An editable school support letter

💛 A monthly mini webinar
Starting with An Introduction to EBSA
Helping you understand the neuroscience behind anxiety and the first steps you can take to support your young person

💛 You’ll join a non judgemental community of parents who will help validate your feelings and finally prove that you don’t have to do this alone.

Plus, should you wish to, you have access to a reduced price for 1:1 parent coaching with me if you’d like to further your support.

I’m opening up a handful of founding member slots for just £25 per month and once they’re gone, the price will increase.

If you’re a parent looking to finally get support with your child’s anxiety and are looking for a place to feel encouraged and supported, not blamed, then head to the link in my bio to join. I look forward to working with you 💛

Anxiety isn’t random.
And it isn’t “just in your head.”

It’s your nervous system responding to something it believes isn’t safe.

When you start to notice the early signs in your body, the tight chest, the racing thoughts, the irritability, the urge to withdraw, you’re catching anxiety as it begins to rise, not when it’s already overwhelming.

And that’s where things can start to change.

Because once you notice, you can respond.
You can begin to bring in simple strategies that help your nervous system feel safer and more regulated.

This matters even more when you’re supporting a child.

Our children don’t learn regulation from what we say.
They learn it from what we model.

If we’re overwhelmed and dysregulated, they feel it.
But when we begin to understand our own nervous system, we can start to create safety for them too.

I know how hard this is.

Parenting a young person who is neurodivergent or struggling with school anxiety can feel relentless at times. It can be exhausting, confusing, and at times completely overwhelming.

But awareness is the first step.

When you begin to notice what’s happening in your own body, you open the door to supporting your child in a different way.

Not through pressure.
But through understanding, safety, and connection.

And that’s where real change begins.

If this resonates with you, I’m opening my parent support membership where I’ll be sharing more guidance like this and answering your questions. Feel free to message me if you’d like the details 💛

I’ve shared a short video about something I’ve been working on… a new parent membership group 💛

It’s a supportive, private space for parents who are trying to help a young person struggling with anxiety or mental health.

There’s no age limit, whether your child is in primary school, high school, college or university, if you’re a parent wanting to better understand and support them, this space is for you.

If this resonates, please feel free to share with friends, family, or anyone who might benefit. So many parents are quietly struggling and don’t know where to turn.

Message me if you’d like more details 💛

I know first hand how parenting a child or young person who is anxious, feels.

It’s really easy to be misunderstood, feel judged or blamed and at times, that’s really isolating and you feel like there’s nowhere to turn.

When shaping my Extraordinary Minds group, the aim has always been to help the children and young people, but this way I get to help you as a parent too 💛

My 20 founding spaces go live tomorrow to my email list. If this sounds like the support you need, i’m really looking forward to working with you 💛

Hi everyone 👋

I wanted to share something I’ve recently created for parents in our community.

I’m a local psychotherapist, and I work with young people experiencing anxiety, school avoidance, and overwhelm. One thing I see time and time again is how hard it can be for parents to access the right support at the right time.

So I’ve created “Extraordinary Minds” an online parent support group designed to offer guidance, reassurance, and practical tools in a more flexible and affordable way.

Inside the group, parents receive:
💛 Two live online support sessions each month (with the chance to ask questions)
💛 A growing library of resources around anxiety, EBSA, and emotional wellbeing
💛 A calm, supportive space where you won’t feel judged or blamed

It’s ideal for parents of teenagers who are struggling with anxiety, school-related stress, or emotional overwhelm.

If this sounds like something that could help you or someone you know, feel free to comment below or message me and I’ll send over the details.

Caroline 💛

If it were that simple, you would have done it already 💛

Because this isn’t about behaviour, it’s about your child’s nervous system.

When a child feels overwhelmed or unsafe, their brain goes into a stress response - fight, flight, freeze.

And in that state, they can’t just push through.

They’re not choosing this.

Understanding that changes everything.

That’s exactly what I’ll help you do inside my Extraordinary Minds group, so you can respond in a way that actually supports your child, not adds more pressure.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, this is for you 💛

My group opens Friday exclusively to my email list. Comment ‘me’ and I’ll send you the link to join the list.

I was lucky enough to receive some truly touching feedback this weekend.

A parent I have worked with for a while sent me a wonderful testimonial about how I’ve helped not only her child, but herself, navigate EBSA.

As parents to children who are anxious, we often feel blamed, at fault and unsupported when it comes to our children’s EBSA, but it’s important to realise you aren’t to blame and there really is help out there.

That’s why I created my Extraordinary Minds group, to break this narrative and finally give parents the supportive place to feel nurtured and honoured, not blamed.

If you’d like to take the first step in seeking support, early access to join this group opens on Friday, please join my email list as the founding member slots will be released here first.

I really look forward to supporting you 💛
