Student and Family Counselling Service 

Marymead CatholicCare Student and Family Counsellors provides school counselling in Catholic and Independent schools throughout Canberra and Regional NSW. This service aims to support students to achieve academic success, psychological health, and social and emotional wellbeing. 

Generally, students engaged in the service receive 6 to 8 individual therapy sessions which are provided at school. All students who wish to access the service require a current referral and parent/guardian consent must be obtained prior to students engaging in the service. Once a referral has been received, contact is made with the parents/guardian to discuss and assess individual student needs, outline the counselling process and answer any questions.  

If you have any questions or would like to find more about school counselling service, please do not hesitate to contact our Student & Family Counsellor, Lucinda. She can be contacted at school on TUESDAYS or via email: lucinda.clay@mccg.org.au
