Student Support Services at Marian College

Your Space. Your Voice. Your Wellbeing.

At Marian College, we understand that secondary school can be exciting, challenging, and sometimes overwhelming. That’s why our School Counsellors are here to support students through every twist and turn of the journey.

What We Offer:

Confidential One-on-One CounsellingStudents can book private sessions to talk through concerns like stress, anxiety, friendships, family issues, motivation, identity, or anything else on their mind. These sessions are non-judgmental, supportive, and always confidential.

Group Workshops & Peer SupportWe offer workshops on topics relevant to teens, including emotional resilience, healthy relationships, exam stress management, and social confidence. Group sessions can also help students realise they’re not alone in what they’re going through.

To book a session or learn more, DM Kubra, Jess or Lucas. 

Let’s work together to help every student feel safe, supported, and ready to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

Meet one of newest counsellers - Jess Barbieri

My name is Jess, and I’m excited to introduce myself as the new School Counsellor here at Marian College!

I come from a teaching background and have always been passionate about supporting young people not just in their learning, but in their wellbeing and personal growth. I strongly believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, valued, and connected, and I’m here to help you build the support networks you need to thrive.

Whether you’re going through a tough time, need a bit of guidance, or just want someone to talk to, my door is always open. I’m really looking forward to getting to know you and working together throughout the year.

If you see me around the school, don’t be shy please come and say hi!
