Our Counselling Team
We are delighted to have partnered with The Soke, a private cognitive health services provider.
The School has worked closely with the Soke since 2021 in order to provide comprehensive on-site counselling, expert pastoral supervision and targeted psychoeducation in support of the school's holistic wellbeing strategy.
The Soke have a broad team of practitioners, chosen not just on the basis of their expertise and experience, but also for their proven commitment to excellence in the delivery of best-in-class mental healthcare.
In recognition of our pioneering provision to pupils in this area, we were named a Finalist in the Independent Schools of the Year Award 2022, for Outstanding New Initiative.
