Support for teachers

Teachers play a crucial role in shaping the future, but the demands of the profession can often lead to significant stress and mental health challenges. Long hours, high expectations, and the emotional strain of managing a classroom can take a toll on your well-being. It's essential therefore for you to prioritise your mental health if you are to continue to inspire and educate effectively as well as ensure you manage your own needs. ​I particularly understand your unique challenges and pressures because I was a teacher and school leader for over 30 years, before making the decision to retrain as a counsellor. I admire and respect you and want to support you.

You are the priority
​As an ex-teacher, I have extensive experience working with educators and understands the specific challenges you face. My service is always tailored around you, ensuring you get the most effective support. Your privacy is important and I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to share, heal and restore yourself or simply to talk through your experiences. Your mental health is as important as the education you provide. I am totally dedicated to supporting you through anxiety, burnout, and/or career transitions if necessary. Please do reach out to me and request a call back to talk through how we can work together to support you in your career and wellbeing. .

Testimony
Using her strong emotional intelligence and skill, she was able to adapt her approach for different children and adults in school who were experiencing heightened emotions. She was fully aware that ‘one size does not fit all’ and used a range of strategies. We were drawn to her as a person whom we could all go to for sincere, honest and practical non-judgemental advice and to be listened to, at a professional or personal level. Dionne is empathetic, non-judgemental, patient, kind and so supportive (amongst other positive things). I always have this sense of healing and being re-energised when I have been in her company over the space of many years. Dionne has the ability to make you feel heard and accepted, always good enough, and her wisdom is considerable, valuable and precious.
