Examples of How We Work

We adapt our support,
rather than fix one package.

Term-time delivery with a named, consistent practitioner where appropriate — confidential, safeguarded and aligned with your school community.

Fast, responsive support

We offer a free initial call within 24 hours of an enquiry. Where the client's availability allows, the first therapy or coaching session can take place within one week or less.

In a school programme — Duchy College

93%

of pupils with comparable outcome data showed positive movement during the academic year.

Well Connections took real care in matching the right practitioner to our school and the fit has been exceptional as she is trusted, consistent and embedded in the life of the community. The support from the practitioner has made a tangible difference to our pupils: clear communication, strong oversight and a partner who understands schools. It has strengthened our whole approach to pupil wellbeing and given staff and families confidence that support is there when it matters.

Working with Well Connections has provided us with a responsive and collaborative service that works closely with our pastoral and safeguarding teams. The counselling provision is having a positive impact on our pupils, while the regular reviews and wider support from Well Connections help ensure the service remains coordinated and responsive to the needs of our school.

Common Questions

Schools &
Colleges, answered.

Yes. Our practitioners can support children and young people experiencing anxiety, emotional distress, attendance difficulties and emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA). The approach is shaped around the young person and can involve appropriate liaison with school and family.

We agree a clear referral pathway with the school or college, review the information provided and allocate an appropriate practitioner. Arrangements can include regular on-site provision, pre-booked sessions, targeted programmes or support for a particular cohort.

Safeguarding responsibilities and information-sharing arrangements are agreed at the start of the service. Practitioners work within the school's safeguarding procedures, liaise with the Designated Safeguarding Lead when needed and use CPOMS in line with the agreed school process.

Counselling gives children and young people a confidential space, within safeguarding and legal boundaries. Consent, confidentiality and communication with parents or carers are explained clearly at the outset and handled in a way that reflects the young person's age, needs and circumstances.

We agree suitable outcome measures and review arrangements with the school or college. Reporting can include anonymised information about engagement, progress and service themes while protecting the confidentiality of individual pupils and students.
