For the bravest children that you will never meet in the playground….

While everyone celebrates their kids heading back to school, sharing pictures of their first week (which is lovely to see), this week I’m holding space for the THOUSANDS of children and teens who can’t walk through those doors.

Let’s hold space this week for…

•The child who can’t attend because anxiety twists their stomach and makes them feel sick, manifesting physically and mentally through panic attacks, insomnia, and sheer dread of school.

•The child overwhelmed by sensory overload, the every bell, shout, crowded corridor, and bright light sending their body into fight or flight

•The child screaming at the school gate, arms clinging to their parent, terrified and desperate to stay home

•The child stuck in limbo with an inappropriate school in their EHCP, waiting over a year while appeals drag on.

•The child desperate to be in school but kept home by unknown SEN/EBSA, longing to be with friends

•The child permanently excluded for behaviours that were really signs of unmet need, punished for being themselves.

•The child waiting years for an assessment before school will acknowledge their needs (unlawful).

•The child masking all day, only to collapse into meltdowns when they get home.

•To the teens longing for connection and learning, blocked by invisible barriers they can’t quiteexplain.

•To the teens left without any school, simply because no setting can support them properly.

•To the Teens with severely low attendance due to poor mental health, navigating pain no one can see.

•To the parents/ carers who have lost jobs, giving everything to support their children through this

•To the parents and carers who turned to home education, feeling it was the only way to protect their child and prevent them from being penalised.

•To the Parents accused of “mollycoddling” for protecting the one they love.

• To the kids who are unable to attend school due to major health issues

These persistently absent children and teens are also incredibly brave and they are deserving of everything! I’ve witnessed this both professionally, and with my own child.

Bridget Phillipson, regarding your attendance comments, perhaps try sitting with the parents living this reality before you dare to pass judgment!

This is sadly why Lighthouse Therapy exists. The need for more mental health and emotional well-being support was increasing during lockdown, and it has only continued to rise.

"Seems like everyone's got mental health issues nowadays"
"There was no such thing as mental health in my day: you just got on with it."
"Young people these days don't know they're born!"
"I don't believe in mental health"

These and other opinions only add to the problem: they are literally trauma talking: repressed emotions from generations of burying feelings and carrying the heavy weight of depression, anxiety and fear around. This has often led to generational trauma, anger and violence.

Hypnotherapy and NLP trauma informed practice can stop the inheritance of trauma and grief, and provide a brighter, clearer future for this young generation.

As a hypnotherapy practitioner and proud parent watching my son graduate fills me with joy and gratitude. This moment marks not only the culmination of years of learning and growth, and dedication,but the beginning of a new chapter.
At Lighthouse Therapy we understand how daunting that next chapter can feel.
The excitement of stepping into a world beyond university is often accompanied by uncertainty, pressure and emotional turbulence. That transition, while thrilling, can also bring fear of the unknown and self-doubt.
This is where emotional regulation becomes essential. Graduates are navigating complex feelings - hope, anxiety,determination hesitation-and all of them are valid.
Hypnotherapy can be an extraordinary tool in managing this emotional landscape. It helps foster clarity, self belief, and calm amidst the chaos.
Through guided hypnosis, we at Lighthouse Therapy can access the subconscious mind, reinforce positive thinking and shift limited beliefs that may hinder the path forward.
As both a parent and a therapist, I see how empowering it is to develop emotional resilience- not just to face challenges but to truly thrive.
I’m incredibly proud of my son, and I want every graduate to know: your emotions are not a weakness- they are your compass.
Let us at Lighthouse Therapy show you how to understand and trust them, and you will chart a course that’s uniquely yours !
Congratulations Arthur, here’s to your next chapter ❤️
