Counselling in Schools: Therapeutic Interventions for SEND and Beyond

Sarah Lord - Education South West & Heartwood Counselling and Psychotherapy College

Sarah is a primary school leader, SENDCo, counsellor and tutor of a level 4 diploma in integrative counselling. She has 18 years' experience in primary education and has led SEND and pastoral support in many schools in the Midlands and South West. She has also worked on placement as a secondary school and university counsellor.

As part of her research project whilst training to be a counsellor, Sarah introduced therapeutic interventions alongside academic ones in her school. The school subsequently recorded significant impact and progress for children undertaking them compared to those who experienced academic interventions alone.

During the workshop you will explore:
• DfE guidance for Counselling in Schools and how to set up a successful model
• Counsellors as key members of the pastoral team
• SEMH as a SEND area of need
• The potential of therapeutic interventions for children and young people

Target Audience: ALL STAFF | WELLBEING COORDINATORS | LEADERSHIP | GOVERNORS | SENDCOS
