School refusal is not a child being difficult or naughty, it is a trauma response. It can present in so many different ways, so it is our responsibility as a parent or teacher/professional to notice the changes.

Here are a few that we see regularly:-

- Overwhelm
- Changes to eating habits
- OCD behaviours
- Increased anxiety
- Low mood
- Clothing feels increasingly uncomfortable
- Withdrawal
- Self harm
- Weight changes
- Sleep issues
- Demand avoidant

Please reach out if you suspect your child is struggling, early interventions can make all the difference.

As we approach December, we would like to highlight some of the issues we know people are currently struggling with at this time of year.

- Darker days, feeling less energised, motivated and productive
- Feeling the pressure and demands of Christmas, which can cause people to feel overwhelmed
- Heavy workload and mock exams for students
- Burn out for teenagers in their final years at school, mental and physical health declining
- Strain on relationships
- Issues with food/body image can become harder at this time of year
- School absence - children can struggle to keep going in and the pressure of absences take its toll on the whole family
- Increase in anxiety as demands increase
- Social anxiety increases, as higher demands to spend time with people
- People mask more, which can lead to melt downs or shut down
- Loneliness, poor self worth for those who already do not feel good enough
- Managing family life
- Bereavement/loss
- Suicidal thoughts
- Self harm
- The management of addictions can become harder

At Tunbridge Wells Counselling, we know that the winter months can be challenging. Appointments are available in December, please get in touch if you are in need of talking to someone.

How does counselling work?

Once a person makes contact, we will arrange a call to discuss their counselling needs in more detail. We will answer any questions or concerns and arrange to meet either in person or online.

Counselling is a safe, confidential space for people to explore what feels important to them right now.

It is therefore important to recognise and support both, in order for a person to feel seen and get the help they need.
