Counsellors will work with children or young people on a one-to-one confidential basis, addressing their individual needs.
Counsellors will conduct sessions with up to 8 children together, focusing on a common issue over a six week period. Examples of group sessions may include self-esteem, emotional regulation, grief and loss or transition.
A Kalmer counsellor will be available with an open door, during a specified time period, allowing children to share current worries and struggles in the moment. Teachers can send children who are currently struggling with a particular issue to the drop in session.
Short term counselling is conducted over a 12 week period where we focus on a brief issue assessment and symptom management. We will introduce tools and strategies to deal with and manage the current feelings. Short-term therapy is a low level intervention. We can also work in a six week model but that would predominately be an assessment period with insight into strategies to manage symptoms.
Long-term counselling addresses underlying issues that are contributing to current feelings and behaviours. Counsellors will work with an individual on an ongoing basis to meet the emotional and psychological needs of the child.
This is a specialist counselling service that involves high-level therapeutic intervention, based on an unforeseen often traumatic event. The most common use of the service is death of a member of staff or pupil. We work in a timely way offering 1/2 day or a full day provision purchased in termly blocks.
Kalmer Counselling can provide staff training sessions either online or in person, this can be focused on staff or pupil mental wellbeing.
Our wellbeing workshops are designed to empower by improving emotional intelligence, emotional regulation and self-awareness. We offer set workshops but can also design bespoke workshops in accordance to your needs.
We can offer one-to-one counselling to staff within school which can be ongoing or as drop in sessions. We can also work outside of school hours within our therapy centres.
The Government and Ofsted place emotional wellbeing, resilience and mental health high on their agenda. There is overwhelming research highlighting the unprecedented increase of the needs of our children and young people. In recent published Department for Education reports ‘Mental health and behaviour in schools’, ‘The Impact of Pupil Behaviour & wellbeing on Education outcomes’ highlight the benefits of schools providing opportunities to develop resilience, emotional wellbeing and mental health.
These reports demonstrate a clear link between improved mental health, emotional wellbeing and academic achievement, which is where Kalmer can help your school. Our service can be purchased on a sessional, termly and academic basis ranging from one hour to half-day and full-day provisions.

During the school visit, we will discuss in-depth the needs of the school and the children as well as exploring the school setting. It is important to understand where the counselling will take place within the school and the suitability of the environment.
