Room Hire Available!
We endeavour to be flexible and can tailor our service to meet your needs. Typically, our therapists work in schools one day a week throughout the academic year. This means you have a specialist consultant and child mental health expert in your school’s professional team all year round contributing to your school community.
Outcome based measures
Each child’s improvement in emotional well-being, mental health and educational attainment (including attendance) is tracked using outcome-based measures.
Data shows that children who access counselling are happier, less anxious and feel more confident. They concentrate better in class which enhances their ability to learn, improving their attendance and educational attainment.
Tailored support – individual needs
We work with the team around the child to best support and understand each child’s individual needs. Our expert therapists will suggest strategies to try and think with school staff, parents/carers and other professionals working with the child to support the child in building strong attachments, enhance their ability to learn, communicate and feel happier.
