School Counselling

Individual school counselling sessions are designed to support our students in their emotional and social development. The intervention is time-limited through a solution-focused approach to the resources and abilities of our students. The aim is to reflect together on strategies that may lead to the successful resolution of the problem. These sessions do not replace a psychological follow-up process.
