Meet Bridget McConnell, MBACP (Accred) – Prior’s Field School Counsellor

Bridget is the school counsellor, offering a supportive and confidential space for students to talk. Bridget is highly qualified with over 10 years’ experience working with young people in boarding schools. Bridget offers a range of therapeutic approaches and brings calm and understanding  to every session. Whether home life feels tricky or school feels overwhelming, or you simply want someone else to talk to, no problem is too big or too small.

Counselling sessions take place in school at no extra cost. Appointments are easy to arrange with a simple email; a course of 6 – 9 sessions is available. Counselling is available to all students and we especially value enquiries from students themselves, however anyone can refer on a student’s behalf so long as the student is aware of why they are being referred and willing to give counselling a try. 

Taking the first step to getting help can require courage, so students can begin with a 30-minute introductory session to find out more about counselling in school. 

Qualifications: BA (Hons) Psychotherapy; FdSc Counselling; Dip. CBT; Cert. Working with Young People; Cert. Working Creatively with Trauma; Dip. Sand Play Therapy (pending).
