Culloden Academy provide a Counselling and Psychotherapy service for its Associated School Group (ASG) comprising the Academy and it’s six feeder primaries of Ardersier, Balloch, Cradlehall, Croy, Duncan Forbes and Smithton. The service is provided through an independent practitioner who is based at the Academy and works closely with our Guidance Team.
The service is open to all children and young people (CYP) from 10 to 18 years old who are pupils of the ASG, and it can be accessed either directly by the CYP, referred through the Guidance Team, by their parent / carer / guardian (PCG) or by other 3rd parties.
The schools provide a safe and confidential space for the CYP to discuss any issues they wish to express and, outwith extreme circumstances, this discussion will remain strictly between the CYP and the Counsellor. The service provides an offsite facility when needed.
For more information you can look on the services website at hpscounselling.com, give Surya a call on 07400 812059 or pick up a leaflet from the Counsellor, Guidance or Reception.
