Therapeutic Interventions

At Bishopton it is recognised that good mental health is paramount and is a non-negotiable if our students are to thrive.

At Bishopton we are proud to have a bespoke mental health offer that is available for all our students.

We have an onsite Psychotherapeutic counsellor who can work with issues such as developmental trauma and attachment as well as grief, loss, and anxiety,

We also use trainee therapists from the Northern Guild to increase our therapeutic capacity. This means our students do not have wait more than a few weeks at most to be allocated a therapist. The number of sessions our students receive is based on need not on time constraints.

We also work with the Mental health Support Team at Stockton through the Trailblazer project. This gives us access to resources and a dedicated Educational mental health Practitioner who can work with lower-level issues such as low self-esteem and anxiety.

We are also part of the Anna Freud Schools and Colleges Early Support Service which allows us to refer appropriate students to their online service to work with a qualified practitioner.
