There are many benefits to providing in-school counselling. Working alongside the school's pastoral team, we can provide weekly 1-1 counselling sessions in your child's school during the school day.

Anxiety is a natural response to fear.everyone feels anxious sometimes,and it can be a helpful motivating emotion. Sometimes, when anxiety is high it can impact on ouir daily lives. Counselling can help you to understand the cause of your anxiety and change damaging thought patterns to healthy thought patterns.
LOW MOOD & DEPRESSION
Depression can be a natural reaction to traumatic events, such as bereavement. relationship break ups and illness. Sometimes there is no obvious trigger.
Therapy can help you to explore the root cause of your low mood, help you to examine and alter your pattern of thinking and restore belief that things can improve, leading to your depression lifting and life feeling good once again.
CHILDHOOD TRAUMA
Many of our views about ourselves, others and the world are formed in our early childhood. If your childhood was traumatic, stressful or abusive, you may still be holding on to false core beliefs which are damaging and making life dificult.
Counselling can help with this by revisiting early life adverse exeriences in a safe and supported trusted relationship. Core beliefs can be examined, discarded and replaced with helpful and healthy beliefs. Leading to a happier and more fulfilled life.
BEREAVEMENT
We all lose people we love at some point in our lives, and overcoming those losses can be very difficult. Having someone who will listen empathically, provide an opportunity to think about and talk about you lost ove one can help to ease the pain.
Sometimes bereavement can also bring other problems as it leads to big life changes and other difficulties, therapy can be a place where these other issues can be aired without the fear of being judged or the worry of being aburden to someone.
