Our Counsellor Services

About Me

My name is Donna Tonkinson and I started working in Catchgate Primary School in January 2025.

Referrals

Referrals can be made by parents/ carers and any teaching staff in school. All referrals must be directed to Mrs McDonald. 

Session information

All sessions are strictly confidential unless there is safeguarding issue and this will be shared with the Designated Safeguarding Lead. Sessions are delivered over 6-10 weeks and last approximately 45 minutes depending on many factors including age. 

Sessions are arranged so that their class learning is impacted as little as possible.

Our Counselling Room 

Our counselling room is a safe space for anyone who needs it. It is a calm and relaxing space where children can choose to do fun activities or to simply talk.
