​The School counsellors are here to provide counsel to anything that may be troubling you at school or home. Please see below for more information.

What to do if you want to see a counsellor:

  • If you think that you have a problem or are worrying about something and you would like to talk to a counsellor, then you can either, talk to a trusted adult, like a teacher, come and meet us face-to-face, or you can write us an email.
  • If you share your concerns with a teacher, then they can ask either Richard Wyatt or Shanaz Essafi to meet with you and talk through your problems.
  • If you want to talk directly to Richard or Shanaz then they will be available on Tuesday and Thursday mornings between 8.15am and 8.45am, and in the afternoon between 2.50pm and 3.20pm. The Counselling room is next to Human Resources and Safeguarding on C-floor. Their door will be open if you want to come in and have a quick chat about what is troubling you.
  • If you would like to write an email instead then click here and let us know what is troubling you. Richard and Shanaz will try to answer your query as soon as possible. Note: only the school counsellors, will see and respond to your message.

*Please understand that if you tell us about something that means you are in danger, we may need to tell someone else in school, so that you (or another student) can stay safe.*

Coping With Exams

Exams can be a worrying and stressful time but it is natural to feel worried at this time as you have probably worked long and hard to get to this point. You may be feeling pressure from people at home and at school for you to do well and sometimes it may just feel as if it is all too much. The counsellors are also available for anyone who feels they would like to talk to someone about the pressure they are under. Please click here to find out more
