Working with Schools

Children and adolescents are often faced with situations and times in their lives that can cause them distress.

Many young people are challenged by social difficulties, self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, isolation, bullying, exam stress, divorce, family separation, and many other trying developmental processes.

When a young person is experiencing emotional difficulties it is often hard for them to know where to turn, or how to express and cope with what they are feeling. School is often the first place to turn for advice, and school counsellors can offer invaluable support during these times. However, there are times when additional counselling support with an experienced child and adolescent psychologist would be valuable. Perhaps the issues at hand fall outside of the school counsellors area of expertise, or perhaps these issues are complex and involve parents or the whole family. This is where Nexus psychology can help, by matching young people and their families with quality independent psychologists and counselling therapists who specialise in working with developmental issues. Nexus can be a valuable resource for schools when their students are facing emotional difficulties.
