I have worked, first, as a teacher then as wellbeing lead and counsellor across a range of schools with diverse needs. This has provided me with insights to the pressures and demands upon the whole school; staff as well as individual pupils’ unique needs. I provide a compassionate range of support enabling me to meet the bespoke needs of your school, working alongside staff developing an empathic understanding of challenges underpinning behaviours and removing barriers to teaching and learning.
Supervision provides a confidential and independent space for any member of staff to explore and consider the impact on themselves. The use of supervision has been proven to prevent staff burnout and enhance wellbeing. This support is particularly valuable for Early Years Foundation Stage, pastoral staff and Designated Safeguarding Leads, protecting staff’s mental health against issues such as vicarious trauma and burnout
Dandelion Therapy offers specialist support for Mental Health Leads, Sendcos, Pastoral staff and SLT. As the demands for comprehensive mental health support in schools increases, I provide support as a trained mental health professional. Sensitive to the needs of the child and the school, I provide support on a bespoke basis, as a discrete session or as a regular appointment, which may be coupled with whole staff INSET workshops.
Please do contact me to discuss your school’s individual needs together we can identify how I am able to support you.
