Counselling Services for Schools and Colleges

Counselling in Education is recognised as an early intervention and preventative strategy for promoting positive mental health

Students experiencing emotional problems may find it difficult to engage and focus on all aspects of their learning.  They can experience a sense of relief, through having the opportunity to share their problems and concerns in a non-Judgemental setting with a trained counsellor. Counselling can have a positive impact on emotional stability.

Positive mental health is a valuable ingredient of improved attitude and focus.
