Services to Schools

The services for schools fall into two categories; - Coaching and ICT consultancy/training

Coaching and Counselling for School Staff

As a qualified and experienced teacher, I am in an excellent position to be able to offer my coaching and counselling services to teachers, head teachers and support staff in schools.

Teaching and working in schools is one of the most demanding of jobs in our modern society. It is full of pressure and complications from a variety of sources. Many of these pressures appear to come from sources outside the main role of teaching the pupils, which make them an added burden or source of stress. As you continue to work in schools, so you have to face all these pressures and demands. Many staff find it increasingly difficult to cope and to continue to deliver their best for the benefit of the pupils. Consequently many staff find themselves in need of support or reluctantly consider leaving their chosen profession.

Yet teaching is also one of the most rewarding and worthwhile of jobs in our society. It is also one of the most important particularly for the benefit and future of our children.

Coaching and Counselling for School Staff is being offered exclusively for people working in schools. Its purpose is to help staff cope with the pressures and demands made upon them. It is also intended to help staff to continue offering their best to their pupils and to gain or increase the satisfaction they gain from their chosen career.

The service is particularly useful for staff at various times of their work or career;

Newly Qualified Teachers getting to terms with the demands of their new career,

Staff preparing, going through or facing the aftermath of inspection or audit,

A newly appointed Head or promoted teacher taking on a new role,

Staff facing disciplinary charges or investigation,

Staff who face abuse or assault,

Coping with the demands of paperwork,

Coming to terms with new technology,

Seeking promotion or a new position,

The effects of the job upon social life or relationships,

The service is designed to support individual members of staff or, through workshops, to support a school staff as a whole.

The service is provided mostly by short telephone sessions that can be held during the day or in the early morning to take advantage of non-contact, PPA time or time when pupils are not present. It is also possible to provide introductory or taster sessions through INSET or twilight workshops.

Staff using the service have the advantage that I am a qualified teacher and have spent over 20 years in schools. Consequently I have experience of many of the issues facing staff.
