Individual Counselling
Email theteachertherapist@outlook.com or wordsworktherapy@outlook.com to arrange an introductory call or book an initial session.
Sessions are priced at £60 and take place in person at my warm and welcoming therapy room in Bournville, Birmingham. Teachers benefit from a discounted fee of £55
Online Counselling
I also hold sessions online on either GoogleMeet or Teams as I appreciate sometimes flexibility is needed around work and home life.
School Bookings
I can come into your school for individual sessions with members of staff, as long as you have a quiet and confidential space. I offer a further discounted rate of £50 per session for schools booking ten sessions or more.
In addition, I offer a wellbeing workshop for teaching staff with support and strategies for common concerns and specific stressors such as dealing with ‘back-to-school blues’, recognising and avoiding burnout, learning how to become more boundaried and manageable self-care within the school day, in addition to a wide range of other wellbeing content.
Why Work With Me?
All the research shows us that whilst teaching continues to be a rewarding occupation, the demands continue to grow from year to year.
Investing in teacher wellbeing not only helps teachers navigate challenges with more confidence, but can also help sickness and retention rates.
Teachers that are mentally and emotionally healthy are intrinsic to happy and thriving students and a successful school.
