Counselling for Educational Staff

Counselling for School Staff

Supporting the emotional well-being of those who support others

Working in education is a deeply meaningful role, but it often comes with high emotional demands, constant pressure, and little time to focus on your own well-being. Whether you're managing the day-to-day stresses of classroom life, supporting students with additional needs, handling administrative responsibilities, or navigating personal challenges outside of school, you don’t have to carry it all alone.

We offer counselling for School Staff,  including teachers, teaching assistants, SEN staff, administrators, and school leaders. If you work at one of our partner schools in Epping Forest, your sessions may even be free of charge.

Our therapists understand the unique stresses faced by school staff, from emotional exhaustion and workload overwhelm to the mental toll of supporting others every day. We provide a safe, confidential space where you can pause, reflect, and feel supported, without judgement or expectation.

Sessions can help with a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, low mood, work-related burnout, self-esteem, boundaries, emotional regulation, and more. Whether you're in the early stages of your career, approaching retirement, or anywhere in between, our aim is to support your emotional health so you can care for yourself as well as others.
