Counselling Service
Meet our Counsellors
At Flying Colours Education our trained and experienced counsellors specialise in assisting children and teenagers with issues and concerns relating to peer relationships, increasing self awareness and managing emotions and self-regulation.
Lisa and Michelle help children and young adults process their problems, plan goals and develop action plans. Lisa and Michelle address problems in a positive way to help students to clarify issues, explore options, develop strategies and increase awareness of themselves.
Our counselling rates are very competitive.
Sessions are held face-to-face, in person at our Cardiff premises or can be arranged to be held at school.
Now is the perfect time to give your child the confidence and resilience they need.
