School counselling can provide support for children experiencing:

Counselling is an invaluable resource within a school and this is why SCB Counselling is proud to offer a professional, confidential service that children, staff and families can all access.

Securing a School Counsellor ensures that a school has immediate access to a qualified professional who can support both children and adults with their emotional and mental health needs. It circumvents the long waiting times that referrals to external agencies can take.

It can provide long-term support for children that require much more than a short-term course of counselling, providing help as the child moves through each term or school year. SCB Counsellors can help remove barriers that prevent children from learning and growing; receiving sufficient support can help a child remain in the education system, rather than missing out on vital learning because they are struggling to cope with their emotions or worries. Counselling at school can help children and young people to develop stress management and coping strategies.

A school counsellor becomes part of the school community, a recognised face or name that children know is there to help them. Providing this valuable service within your school will help to build positive relationships among students and teachers, and increase the whole school's resilience against anxiety and stress.
