Exchange Counselling

All pupils at Cochrane Castle Primary can access Exchange Counselling services. If your child is feeling worried or anxious, or is experiencing changes that feel overwhelming, they have the opportunity to talk with a counsellor. Exchange counsellors regularly visit the school to provide one-to-one support for a number of our pupils.
