School Counsellor
Like many schools, we offer a confidential counselling service to our students. We have a counsellor on site at both the Senior and Prep schools.
Your daughter may contact the counsellor herself if there is something troubling her that she would like to talk about in confidence, or her Head of House may suggest an initial conversation.
Ideally the Counsellor can offer up to 6 individual sessions. Each session will last for approximately 30 minutes.
Counselling is confidential, except if it is in a student’s best interest for the Counsellor to disclose to the safeguarding team or proper authorities, such as in the case of abuse, neglect, or endangerment.
If you would like to access counselling support for your daughter, please do discuss this with the Deputy Head of Prep (Pastoral), Head of House, or Form Tutor.
