Betty Layward provides emotional and therapeutic support in school, building children’s resilience through talking, creative work and play.

This unique counselling service has been established in the school community for over 10 years and works with children aged 4-11 years, helping them to cope with a wide range of difficulties from friendship and communication skills to more complex problems.

We want our children in Betty Layward to enjoy learning, which they can’t do if they are distracted or overwhelmed by their feelings. This service provides a space for children to share their concerns in a welcoming environment, and for teachers, parents and carers to access support for those children in the relaxed and familiar setting of the school.
