Schools Counselling Partnerships with Toni Medcalf
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Focusing on student mental health is vital for holistic development. By supporting parents, teachers and the collective school community, we create a nurturing environment that fosters wellbeing, academic success and lifelong resilience.
In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Toni Medcalf, an integrative psychotherapist and the Director and Founder of the Schools Counselling Partnership. Since qualifying at a psychotherapist, she has worked for ASCA (Adults Surviving Child Abuse), The Open Door Project in Feltham and the Brit School for Performing Arts. She is also a Mindfulness Teacher, Mentor and Group Leader for BASE Babywatching, a trustee of Dream Arts and on the advisory board of BASE Babywatching.
Toni and I discuss:
- Support teachers need when it comes to supporting the impact of trauma on the brain development of their students
- The main stressors/concerns teachers are addressing in 'drop in' sessions
- How to ensure confidentiality and privacy for clients, especially in a school setting
- Vulnerable but powerful stories
- And much more!
Thank you for coming on this journey to create a better future for our life long learners!
