Meet Bridget – Prior’s Field School Counsellor

Bridget is the school counsellor, offering a safe, supportive, and confidential space for students to talk. With a huge amount of experience working with children and young people, Bridget brings a calm, understanding, and practical approach to every session. No problem is too big or too small. Whether home life feels tricky, school feels overwhelming, or you simply want someone else to talk to, Bridget is here to help.

Counselling sessions take place in school at no extra cost. Appointments are easy to arrange with a simple email, there’s no waitlist, and anyone who asks can have a session as long as they’re aware and willing. Sessions are usually 50 minutes, with lesson times rotated so students don’t miss the same class each week.

Students can begin with a 30-minute trial session, with 6–9 sessions typically offered to provide ongoing support when needed. Counselling doesn’t have to be a big deal, just a chance to feel listened to, supported, and better equipped to manage whatever life brings your way.
