School based counselling

Lle Caredig - our onsite counselling provision

 

Our onsite counsellor, Ruth, of Lle Caredig, helps children to explore their emotions and feel better about themselves.

 

“When I feel worried, it’s like I’m in a maze and the people in Lle Caredig are coming with a torch and showing me the way” – Boy 

 

“My daughter had become such a different person – one we didn’t recognise – but since counselling we see signs of our old loving daughter coming back.” – Parent 

 

Children can go to the Lle Caredig room in school to express themselves by making art, playing or talking.

 

When is Lle Caredig useful?

Sometimes children can feel particularly sad, confused, scared or angry.

Maybe something difficult happened at home, like losing a family member or parents separating. Or perhaps they’re struggling with something at school, like bullying.

This can make them behave differently, lose confidence in themselves or find it difficult to concentrate in class.

Ruth is there to help children find ways to cope, so their worries don’t get in the way of their friendships, their learning or how they feel about themselves.

 

What does Ruth do?

Ruth works with children one-to-one or in small groups, giving regular support for pupils who need it.

Children can also book a short appointment to talk about any problems or worries they have.

 

Contact the school if you wish to speak with Ruth.
