We provide counselling to Primary, Post Primary and Special Schools across Northern Ireland. We have a highly experienced professionally trained team who believe in working with you to agree a service which is right for your school. We go the extra mile to ensure each young person & family we engage with is fully supported.
If you would like to refer a child for counselling in primary school, please fill out our Primary School Referral form here and someone will get back to you:
Primary School Referral Form: https://forms.office.com/e/70H0RVDcp5
We specialise in counselling children in the primary school age group in both mainstream and special schools and working with their teachers & families to create solutions.
When you make a referral, you will be asked for some basic details and consent. Your referral will be sent to the key contact in school and our counsellor. Please note any concerns particularly regarding your child's safety and wellbeing.
We cater the appointment style to the age and stage of the child and use a range of methods including play, art, talking & group therapy.
We'll find out what your child's concerns, worries & difficulties are and begin to work through to solutions.
Anything from anxiety to behaviour to managing at home. We'll help you any way we can.
Please complete the form below if your child/student's Imagine If counselling sessions have ended/are coming to an end. Thank you.
