Student Counselling Services
SUPPORTING EVERY STUDENT
Student Wellbeing at Immanuel
Every student deserves to feel supported, heard, and understood. That’s why our wellbeing team creates a safe space where students can share their thoughts, work through challenges, and build resilience for life.
WHOLE PERSON CARE
A Complete Support Approach
Happy, confident students learn better – it’s that simple. Our dedicated counselling team supports your child’s emotional, social, and academic growth, helping them become their best selves. Whether they’re navigating friendship challenges, managing study stress, or dealing with bigger life changes, we’re here to help.
PRIMARY SCHOOL SUPPORT
Primary School Counselling Services
Primary school years are full of big feelings and new experiences. One day your child might be on top of the world, the next they might be struggling with friendship worries or classroom challenges. Our counsellors understand these ups and downs, creating a warm, welcoming space where children feel safe to share their thoughts and feelings. We work closely with families and teachers to help your child build confidence, develop emotional skills, and find their own way to shine.
Our primary school counselling team provides:
- One-on-one sessions tailored to each child
- Safe spaces to express feelings and concerns
- Age-appropriate coping strategies
- Close collaboration with teachers and families
- Support for learning and social development

Whether it’s managing exam anxiety, dealing with relationship changes, or finding balance in a busy world, we’re here to help students thrive.
