School Counselling
Most children and young people need support during their lives, life can become very challenging as they go through many changes both physically and emotionally. It can be confusing and frustrating for a young person to cope with these changes, which can lead to behavioural issues affecting both school and home life. A school counsellor can act as a mediator to the young person offering help, support and the chance for them to be themselves.
I offer a counselling service which can help young people, support them and act as an early intervention. I have experience of counselling children aged between 7 and 16 years both in private practice and in a school setting having worked on a voluntary basis for Place2Be (www.place2be.org.uk) and more recently for Philippi Trust, St Helens. Additionally, I currently hold a position as a one-to-one counsellor at Winstanley College, working with young people aged 16-18 years and St Aidans CofE Primary school in Billinge, working with ages 5 - 11 years.
