Kent Counselling for Schools
Your schools trusted pathway to wellbeing
Why choose us?
Although KCS is an external specialist service, our counsellors quickly become a valued and trusted part of school life. Working closely alongside pastoral leaders and supported by a dedicated Lead Counsellor, they offer both professional independence and genuine integration within the school community. This balance allows schools to benefit from robust clinical practice while building the continuity, relationships, and trust that make counselling most effective.

More about our mission
Our role is very simple: to ensure that when a school chooses counselling support, they receive experienced practitioners whose entire professional focus is working with young people and staff in education settings.
Schools are being asked to hold an increasing level of emotional need, and having experienced therapeutic support available within the school can make a profound difference.
We back the initiative of Public Health England and the Children and Young People’s Mental Health Coalition.
With the whole school approach, all school staff, leadership teams, parents/carers, counsellors, and the wider community, must be committed and working together to promote and deliver emotional health and wellbeing to students in a truly holistic way.
