School-Based Counselling

The Spark is one of biggest providers of school-based counselling services in the country, supporting thousands of children and young people each year with counselling. The quality of the service has been demonstrated through robust assessment, evaluation, and impact measures.

Working directly with schools and local authorities, our in-school counselling services help to support the emotional, behavioural, mental, and social health and wellbeing of pupils. School-based counselling services are provided by age-group category in both primary and secondary settings.

Every child and young person have the right to expect the appropriate support from adults to ensure they can reach their potential. Helping children and young people to develop a positive outlook on life is essential. This can be achieved by building social and emotional competencies such as resilience, self-esteem, and interpersonal skills. These encourage healthy behaviours and aid achievement in and out of school.
