Counselling at SIS

You can talk to our counsellors about any personal problem or difficulty. Many students at SIS attend counselling because they are stressed about grades and academic pressure. Others seek counselling to learn how to deal with issues related to home, friendship or life in general.

If you have questions about higher education, you may also want to drop by the Career Centre at SIS and talk to our Higher Education counsellors. They offer students practical support regarding career options and university applications.

At SIS, we have four, friendly and professionally trained counsellors: Our School Counsellor Ms. Tara Chiang and Ms. Doreen Jowharsha and our School Social Workers Ms. Kamy Yeung and Ms. Stephanie Wan. They offer supportive, non-judgmental and confidential support to any student who wants help with difficulties they may be experiencing.

3 reasons why counselling can help:

1. Students who try counselling at SIS say that talking openly about how they feel gave them enormous relief. They say that getting things off their chest is really helpful. In fact, research shows that talking about problems (instead of keeping them inside) can help improve your wellbeing and impact positively on studying and relationships.

2. Students say that it sometimes helps to talk to someone who is not a teacher. It can be easier to speak to someone outside your immediate group of friends, family, and teachers.

3. Our counsellors and social workers are trained in how to listen and how to help students find their own solutions to their challenges. Counsellors show empathy, do not make judgments, and are here to help you make positive changes in your life. This can be really supportive and helpful.
