When children and young people feel supported, they are better able to learn, grow and thrive.
At North Staffs and Cheshire Mind, we’ve been working with schools and educational settings for more than 15 years, providing therapeutic support that helps children and young people manage the challenges they’re facing.
Working closely with school staff, we identify pupils who may benefit from support and tailor our approach to meet their individual needs. Our qualified counsellors support young people with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, family relationships, anger and emotional wellbeing.
By providing timely, school-based support, we help children and young people access the right help in a familiar environment, while supporting schools to promote positive wellbeing across their communities.
School-based interventions not only reduce pupil absenteeism and improve academic achievement, but it can also help the school by providing evidence to support their Ofsted report.
Support for Students
One-to-one Counselling
Our counsellors provide confidential, one-to-one support using an integrative approach, ensuring each young person receives the support that’s right for them.
We aim to provide timely access to counselling, helping pupils receive support as early as possible.
If your child has been referred to our service through their school, or you’d like to find out more, you can read our Parent/Carer information sheet.Â
Support for Staff
Supervision and Support Sessions
Supporting children and young people can be emotionally demanding. Our supervision sessions provide education professionals with a safe, reflective space to discuss challenges, explore their practice and receive professional support.
Supervision can help improve staff wellbeing, build confidence and resilience, and support those working with children and young people who may be experiencing mental health difficulties.
