The impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to be felt in our everyday life. It is clear that we are facing times of uncertainty and change. These challenges may affect our mental health as well as our ability to cope.

Please do not hesitate to contact us, if you have any questions or concerns. Emails will be monitored during school hours.

Counselling sessions can be arranged via “Google meet” or over the phone.
