Student Support Services

The Health Centre

The Health Centre offers a range of support, from managing acute medical problems and chronic health conditions, whilst also offering a safe space for pupils who want to drop in for support or a chat about a worry. The team have strong links with Houses and pupils as they provide health education in for the PHSE Programme and they get to know the pupils very well.

Student Support Services Team

In our Student Support Services team (based in the Health Centre) are two specialist Child and Adolescent Psychotherapists who are both NHS trained and registered. Rachel and Stuart are qualified to work with children and young people from nursery through to age 25 years. They also have extensive training in consulting with parents, families and the adults supporting a child. As part of their experience of work within school and medical settings, they have also provided individual and group supervision/consultation to professionals working with children and families. Rachel has an additional qualification as a Movement Therapist and has skills in movement assessment and nonverbal communication. Stuart has previously qualified in and worked as a children and families social worker whilst completing his clinical training in child psychotherapy.
