Information for Schools
We offer bespoke services to schools and can place a Clinical Psychologist on site for all mental health services. Because we offer half and full days for a fixed price, schools can make use of the Psychologist for:
Assessment of mental health, risk, and behavioural problems
Treatment of mental health problems
- Workshops for specific groups such as autistic boys/girls
- General mental health ‘toolkit’ groups
- Managing exam anxiety
- Consultation to teaching staff on the management of challenging students
- Training of a range of subjects that can be chosen from the existing list or created specifically for the school.
Having a psychologist on-site can provide relief from the stress of referrals to outside services with long waiting lists and high thresholds for access.
The benefits for students of having a Clinical Psychologist in the school are many. These are potentially fewer sick days, better engagement in class, and a more supported student base, as well as staff who can feel contained and seek expert guidance on the difficult issues that frequently challenge teachers. Having a psychologist present can also lead to more positive attitudes toward mental health in general.
If you are a teacher who is interested in discussing how our Children, Young People Services could support you, we would be happy to arrange for us to discuss your needs and to offer a package that uniquely fits the school. Please get in touch with us on 0333 3390115
