As the new school term approaches, many parents and students feel a mix of excitement and anxiety. The return to structure, new teachers, social pressures, and academic demands can trigger intense emotions—especially for those already managing stress or anxiety.
At D9 Therapy & Wellness, we’ve seen a surge in clients reaching out for support at this time of year. That’s why we’re offering affordable counselling from just €30 per session—for teens, students, and parents who need a helping hand this September.
What Causes Back-to-School Anxiety?
Anxiety at this time of year is completely normal—and it affects both children and adults. Some common causes include:
-
Fear of a new environment or unknown routine
-
Social anxiety or peer pressure
-
Separation anxiety (especially in younger children)
-
Academic pressure and perfectionism
-
Returning to school after bullying, illness, or bereavement
-
Parents managing new schedules, expenses, and responsibilities
You or your child might notice symptoms like poor sleep, stomach aches, emotional outbursts, or avoidance of school-related talk. These can be signs that support is needed.
How Counselling Helps
Therapy creates a safe, non-judgmental space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface. Our experienced and trainee counsellors support:
-
Teens and students dealing with anxiety, overwhelm, or confidence issues
-
Parents who feel exhausted, guilty, or unsure how to help their child
-
Family systems experiencing tension as term-time routines begin again
We use person-centred approaches and techniques from CBT and mindfulness to help clients regulate emotions, reduce worry, and feel more in control.
