Our Counsellors are all qualified, experienced and professionally accredited, and as an organisation we have an excellent track record.
Last year we provided 12,000 hours of 1:1 face to face counselling.
We believe that Pupils do better academically when they feel emotionally supported.
We are a registered charity providing counselling services to children in primary and secondary schools across four counties: Surrey, Hampshire, Middlesex and Berkshire.
2025/26 has been our 40th Anniversary and to ensure that the organisation is in good shape for the next few decades we are in the midst of modernising and updating our constitution and extending our service to meet the needs of schools by supporting their staff and leadership teams. Our “Reflective Practice Service” is designed for senior leaders and well-being teams and is facilitated by our network of highly experienced Clinical Supervisors. Our new logo and website are due to be launched in the next few weeks to be ready for the upcoming academic year ……. please pay the new site a visit in September.
Using schools as the setting for our service is an effective way of making counselling available and accessible to pupils who may be experiencing emotional distress and/or behavioural problems – it is also a cost-effective delivery path.
We support individual children aged between 4 and 18. A range of experiences – including bereavement, family break up, family and peer relationship difficulties, anxiety, and bullying – can lead to deterioration in a pupil’s behaviour or ability to function effectively in school.
Whether you are a teacher, parent or anyone else in a role who promotes the wellbeing of young people, we would be pleased to discuss how best to access our service for children in a school which is using a Valley Trust counsellor.
We pride ourselves on excellent outcomes, and look forward to hearing from you.
