Our Counsellor Services

About Me

I qualified as a Therapeutic Counsellor in May 2016 and I am registered with The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. I have worked at Catchgate in this capacity for 8 years and have known many of the children since nursery. I feel very privileged to be able to do my job and watch each child grow in such positive ways.

Referrals

Referrals can be made by parents/ carers and any teaching staff in school. All referrals must be directed to Mrs Shaw and this also applies to parents/carers who wish to refer themselves. 

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.
