School counselling service

The school counselling service supports students’ wellbeing and learning. We offer short‑term counselling for individuals and groups, run psychological and educational assessments, and share clear reports and recommendations. We team up with teachers, learning and support staff, families, and outside services to create practical plans. We make referrals when extra help is needed, assist with complex behaviour, and work together to respond to serious incidents—all to strengthen students’ social, emotional, and academic development.
