Evie's Creating Calm Counselling

At GGLPS my counselling focus is on supporting students and families to flourish by fostering positive mental health and wellbeing through individual, small group, and family counselling.  We provide pro-active programs which provide skills and strategies for self-care, maintaining positive relationships, positive learning behaviours, belonging, and strong connections with family and community. 

Peaceful Kids

This term Peaceful Kids will be open to students from Foundation to Year 2. Peaceful Kids is a Mindfulness and Positive Psychology based program to lessen anxiety and stress and increase resilience in children.
