Exam Season fast approaching – Let’s Talk About How to Thrive, Not Just Survive
As a counsellor and psychotherapist, I often see students overwhelmed with pressure during exam time — struggling with stress, anxiety, burnout, and self-doubt. The good news? It doesn’t have to be that way.
Here are a few simple but powerful tips to support your mind while you study:
  • Plan smart – Break subjects into manageable chunks and make a realistic study schedule.
  • Study smarter, not harder – Use techniques like active recall, spaced repetition, and teaching what you learn to someone else.
  • Don’t forget your mental health – Take breaks, move your body, sleep well, and talk about how you’re feeling.
If exams are affecting your wellbeing — whether it’s anxiety, lack of motivation, or just feeling stuck — I’m here to help. Together, we can build the tools to manage stress, boost confidence, and approach exams with a calmer, clearer mindset.
