School-related stress can arise from academic pressure, exams, social expectations, or struggles with self-confidence. Many students feel overwhelmed by high expectations, fear of failure, or difficulties balancing schoolwork with personal life. This stress can lead to anxiety, trouble concentrating, sleep issues, or even avoidance of school, affecting both mental well-being and academic performance.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps students manage stress by teaching practical coping strategies and reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns. It encourages healthier responses to pressure, improves problem-solving skills, and builds resilience. Through techniques like relaxation exercises and time management strategies, CBT helps students regain confidence, stay motivated, and approach school challenges with a more balanced mindset.
