Ever wish you could switch off those pesky negative thoughts? That’s what CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is all about!

At Lighthouse Therapy Group, we like to keep things bright: CBT is your toolkit for taking back control and finding a happier you.

We’ll be honest – we’re not the biggest fans of the education system (we’ve all been there: deadlines, exams, group projects where only one person actually does the work 🙃)… BUT we do believe education is massively important.

That’s why we’re offering counselling sessions for higher education students at just £35 + VAT per session.

Because while lectures, assignments, and the occasional “what even is my life?” moment are all part of the journey, you don’t have to navigate it on your own. 🧭

University and college life can feel like a maze – pressure, homesickness, relationships, finances, future worries… (oh, and trying to remember if pasta counts as a food group 🍝). We’re here to support you through it all.

➡️ Affordable, professional counselling
➡️ Tailored support for your student life
➡️ Continued sessions throughout the academic year

You keep chasing the degree – we’ll help you keep your head together while you do it.

👉 Drop us a message to book your first session.

Conditions apply. Offer available for current higher education students only.

It’s Great North Run day! 😁✌️
We’re sending a massive good luck to all of our amazing team and everyone who is running today🤩 You’re all going to smash it out the park!

Never say you can’t do it - you may not have done it YET, but you’ll never know until you try. Your hopes, goals and ambitions are always undoubtedly worth the initial discomfort of trying ✌️

So I practically never use our business to reach out for sponsorship but this is such a one off that it’s almost comical

In one weeks time, myself and a few members of our amazing Lighthouse Family will be running the GNR to raise money for The Three Tumours.

That’s right me, a washed up drunken sailor who lives off a cholesterol and whiskey diet will be running 13.1 miles 😮😬🙈

As many people know, 8 years ago I lost my dad to a brain tumour and it was without doubt the worst times of my life. Not only did we loose him but we also had to see him suffer as this horrific disease slowly took him away from us.

The Three Tumours is a fantastic local frontline charity who work with people affected by brain cancer and also their families. They are there when s**t gets real and they need our support.

So please just click on the link below and donate what you can and now is your chance to see me squirm in pain and be pushed to my very limits.

Many thanks 😁✌️

I’m swapping the counselling couch for a good old-fashioned pounding… of the pavements! This year I’ve signed up to do the Great North Run for The Three Tumours — a charity painfully close to my heart

How would it feel for you to not offer your friend in crisis advice or a solution to their problems?☕️🫂

For a lot of us, it can be really challenging to not try to “help” people in a literal, practical sense.
We want to take the problem away for those we love and care for🤍

But what if the real magic and connection comes from simply being?
How comfortable are we being with others in their pain without trying to fix it? To listen and stay with someone, letting them know we’re here no matter their state, gives our loved ones the chance to feel heard and accepted💡

That sh*t is powerful...

When was the last time you answered “I’m fine” when someone asked how you are? 💡

For most of us it’s a catch all response - it saves us from having to check in with ourselves and our genuine feelings, as well as the vulnerability of opening ourselves up to others.
What would happen if next time someone asked “how are you?”, “how was that thing?” or “how’re you feeling about what happened?” if we didn’t use the F word? 🌊👥

Take a moment to reflect - do you need to be “fine”? Is the F word truly serving you? What would your response be if this word was banned? 💡

Identifying our feelings can be hard! Even as qualified, experienced counsellors, it’s something we don’t get right all the time. If it feels right for you, have a look at the feelings wheel - sometimes we just don’t have the words to describe what’s going on inside, and that’s okay! That’s where counselling can help and nurture you to understand your inner world better🌱🫂

Congratulations to everyone who has received A-level or GCSE results over the last couple of weeks! 😁✌🏻- and shout out to all who have supported you along the journey; we see you too!

If your results didn’t go to plan, take a deep breath and remember: Jeremy Clarkson got a C and two U’s and now spends his time shouting at cows for millions of pounds🤣

The point is, life isn’t linear and nothing is ever permanent - it can have a funny way of working out. The opportunity to learn and grow is so valuable, and not just exclusive to school; in fact we are always learning and evolving through our whole lives in a way that could never be measured by an exam. You’ve got time and probably a lot more going for you than you realise right now! 😁

Be kind to yourself today - you’ll have heard it before, but I will say it again, your worth is not defined by any grade ❤️
Self Care Tip… Clarkson’s Farm is one of our favourite shows to wind down with at the end of the day 🤣 give it a watch! let yourself be distracted! You need time to rest before making your next steps in your journey 🫂

Change is the only constant we can rely upon to show up time and time again in life…

Although the change might be outside of our control, we can be empowered to choose how we respond to it and adapt. Accountability and responsibility ground us in the here and now🌱

By no means is change easy, but part of accountability can be reaching out to support around you during a difficult transitional time🫂

Change challenges us, but the challenge isn’t always visible - often it looks like accepting help or trying something new to adapt and live aligned with what you want for yourself and those around you😁✌🏻
