Academic life can be exciting, but it can also bring intense pressure. Students today face expectations from school, competitive environments, peer comparisons, exam anxiety, long study hours, and the fear of not performing well. Over time, these stressors can affect mood, sleep, focus, motivation, and overall emotional well-being.
Academic Stress & Performance Support provides a calm, understanding, and solution-focused space where students can express their worries and learn practical skills to handle academic challenges with confidence.
With compassionate guidance, Dr. Chitra Radhakrishna helps children, teens, and young adults understand their stress, build emotional resilience, and develop healthier study behaviours and performance strategies.
Here, therapy isn’t about marks —
it’s about supporting the student’s emotional world, strengthening confidence, and helping them thrive.
Academic stress can arise from:
Fear of failure or disappointing others
Difficulty concentrating or remembering
Low confidence or perfectionism
Peer pressure or comparison
Academic overload or disinterest
Transitioning to new classes, courses, or environments
Emotional struggles that affect performance (anxiety, sadness, loneliness)
Support helps students understand these pressures and learn how to handle them effectively.
Sessions combine emotional support with practical tools, helping students improve both their mental state and academic performance.
Therapeutic support may include:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for exam anxiety, negative thoughts, and overthinking
Study habit restructuring to improve routine, focus, and productivity
Mindfulness & relaxation techniques to calm the mind before exams
Time-management and planning tools for balanced study schedules
Motivation-building exercises for students who feel stuck or overwhelmed
Guidance for screen-time management & digital distractions
Support for exam fear, oral presentation anxiety, and performance blocks
Parent counselling to create supportive home environments
Self-esteem & confidence-building strategies for long-term growth
Each session is tailored to the student’s age, challenges, learning style, and emotional needs.
