Psychotherapy

At Courtlands School, psychotherapy is a core part of the school’s ethos, recognising that emotional well-being is fundamental to learning, particularly for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Psychotherapy provides a safe, supportive space where students can explore their feelings, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. By addressing anxiety, emotional regulation, and self-esteem, therapy helps students engage more fully in the classroom and form positive relationships with peers and staff.

The school integrates therapeutic principles across daily routines and teaching, ensuring that emotional support is consistent and embedded rather than isolated. Staff are trained to reinforce therapeutic approaches in lessons and social interactions, enabling students to apply strategies in real-life contexts. This holistic approach promotes confidence, independence, and self-awareness, directly supporting learning across all subjects.

At Courtlands, psychotherapy is not an add-on but a vital, ingrained part of the school culture, helping students with SEN thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.
