Our Counselling Services for Every Child

counceling-ag

Counselling at school is for every child — not only those identified through our inclusion programme. Our six guidance counsellors support students through everyday challenges, from friendship worries to exam nerves, as well as providing specialised, ongoing support for students of determination. Every conversation is confidential, and any child can request to see a counsellor through a simple, dignified process — part of what we call our Circle of Happiness, Inclusion and Wellbeing.

What your child can talk to a counsellor about

Not every visit to a counsellor is about a crisis. Most aren’t.

Friendship and social worries

Exam and assessment nerves

Confidence and self-esteem

Behaviour and big feelings

Family changes and transitions

Settling into a new grade

How it works

A simple, age-appropriate self-referral process lets any student request time with a counsellor. It's handled with complete confidentiality — your child decides what gets shared, and with whom.

If you notice something at home — a change in mood, sleep, or how your child talks about school — you can request a conversation for your child directly. You don't need to wait for a teacher to flag it first.

For students of determination, our counsellors play a deeper, ongoing role. This includes contributing to psychometric assessment, individual education plans and the day-to-day support that’s part of our wider inclusion provision.

Reach out, and we'll arrange a conversation — for you or your child.
