Schools Counselling in Lincoln and in Louth
What is Counselling for Schools?
I provide a range of counselling services for schools aimed at nurturing and developing the mental health and emotional wellbeing of your pupils.
Mental health problems affect about 1 in 10 children and young people. That’s around three children in every class. Most don’t receive the support they need, even though there is evidence to show that children are less likely to suffer from serious mental health problems later in life if they receive support at an early age.
Promoting positive mental health in schools also has a range of other benefits, improving behaviour and relationships, attitudes to learning, and attendance rates.
What I Offer
I provide early intervention counselling services to young people in schools for Lincoln and Louth. I have also been working with young people for over 6 years and bring a wealth and skills and materials to the session.
I offer skilled and professional one-to-one counselling services for children and young people who are experiencing emotional difficulties and distress. Counselling is an opportunity for young people to talk about anything that’s troubling them, explore their feelings and think about anything they might like to change.
The model of counselling I use is person centred counselling, which is non-directive and non-judgemental; focusing on seeing things from the young person’s point of view while providing support to help them find their own answers.
Young people come to me when they are facing a range of difficulties, for example relationship problems, loneliness, anxiety, bereavement, alcohol or drug abuse, eating disorders, school or college related problems, suicidal feelings and sexual abuse.
A Tailor Made Service for Your School
I can work within the school, providing a FULL DBS, as an onsite counsellor for an agreed fee. Depending on your requirements I can be on site for anywhere between one to five days per week. I work in line with school policy and procedure and in line with the Code of Conduct and the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Code of Practice.
I can also offer a range of additional services as part of our service level agreement, including:
-
Counselling for school staff
-
Training and workshops for staff or pupils around a range of issues, for example self-harm, suicidal thoughts and feelings, eating disorders and listening skills.
