THERAPEUTIC SUPPORT FOR SCHOOLS
Tailored therapuetic and reflective support for children, young people and the professionals around them
Schools play a vital role in the emotional wellbeing of children and adolescents. I provide therapeutic support within the school environment, working collaboratively with staff to create consistency, build trust and strengthen the support available to pupils.
Every service is shaped around the unique needs of your pupils and school community, reflecting the same creative, relational and trauma-informed approach that underpins all of my work.
“Every school is different. We’ll shape a service that fits yours.”
FLEXIBLE, CREATIVE SUPPORT FOR SCHOOLS
I can work with you to build a support package around the needs of your pupils, staff and wider school community. This may include:
– 1:1 Play and Creative Arts Therapy for individual pupils, including tailored outdoor sessions where appropriate
– Drop in emotional support
– Themed group sessions exploring areas such as transitions, friendships, emotional wellbeing and mindfulness
– Reflective supervision for teachers, teaching assistants, pastoral, SEND and safeguarding staff
– Clinical supervision for school-based therapists and counsellors
– Staff and parent consultation and support
– Whole-school support, including workshops, training and consultations
Whether you’re seeking full support for your school or targeted help for individual pupils, I can help.
REFLECTIVE SUPERVISION FOR SCHOOL STAFF
Supporting children and young people can carry significant emotional and relational demands.
I offer individual and small-group reflective supervision for education professionals, providing protected space to pause, reflect and think about the work.
Sessions can be arranged online or within school, on a regular or agreed basis.
WORKING TOGETHER
The best outcomes happens when we work collaboratively. Together, we can create greater consistency between the therapeutic space and the wider school environment.
I MEET WITH STAFF TO:
– Understand the child’s needs, history and school life
– Share insights about Play and Creative Arts Therapy and how it works
– Explore ways to support the pupil throughout the week
This shared understanding helps everyone feel more equipped to support the child or young person’s emotional development.
