Counselling Service

The school counselling service provides a confidential support to our young people who may be experiencing difficulties that they feel unable to work out on their own or that they feel unable to discuss with parents, teachers or friends. The school counsellor is someone pupils can talk to in a different way, someone who listens in a very careful way, who will not judge you or tell you what to do. It can help pupils to work things out for themselves, by exploring things in an open and honest way. It can help with the way pupils feel about themselves, relationships with others, low mood, anxiety, sexuality and stress.

Pupils can access counselling by speaking to a member of staff they trust who can make a referral through the pastoral care team or pupils can self-refer by talking to the counsellors directly.
