The Importance of Child Counselling

Children, just like adults, can experience challenges that affect their emotional wellbeing. Whether it’s worries about friendships, changes at home, difficulties in learning, or simply the ups and downs of growing up, having a safe space to talk can make a huge difference. Counselling provides children with the opportunity to express themselves, explore their feelings, and develop positive strategies to cope with life’s challenges.

At Tetherdown Primary School, we know that a child’s emotional well-being is just as important as their learning. Sometimes children face challenges — whether it’s worries about friendships, changes at home, difficulties in learning, or simply the ups and downs of growing up. Having a safe space to talk can make a real difference.

That’s why we are pleased to offer in-school counselling sessions for children who may benefit from extra emotional support. These sessions are confidential, child-centred, and designed to help children build confidence, resilience, and positive coping strategies.
