Story
During our 3 year pilot project we have seen hundreds of students access 1-2-1 counselling, drop in sessions and targeted support for eating disorders and peer relationships that has transformed their lives. Over 60% have reported feeling better thanks to the counselling provision.
One year 11 pupil said: “I have learned key communication skills and self-worth, setting boundaries. I have worked through what made me react angrily and aggressively with people, so I know how to manage now in those situations and calm myself down.”
A year 10 pupil wrote to the counsellor to say: "I have been able to repair my bond with my mum, we go for days out and laugh and I don't feel any resentment towards her any more. I got through my GCSEs and sat every paper, revised my hardest and tried my best. You helped me find my motivation, I even went back to dance!" They passed their GCSEs and now continue at college.
