HeadPsyche Offer

The HeadPsyche Offer

Referrals to occupational health, counselling, therapy, mentoring, or coaching, while valuable, do not and cannot provide the all-encompassing support needed for school leaders.

HeadPsyche is a unique package that combines educational leadership support with psychological services. It is aimed at school leaders who are currently performing below their best because of:

Burnout
Chronic stress
Exhaustion

There are a number of skills and strategies that will be developed with the help of an experienced school and Trust leader, some with a clinical psychologist, and some with both.

Depending on location, sessions can be face to face, online, or a mixture of both. The frequency, duration, and length of treatment can be arranged with the individual, within parameters set by the client (assuming they are different). If appropriate and desired, an education consultant may visit your school to understand the context more fully.

The aim of the service is not just to avoid or recover from these debilitating conditions but to maximise potential. We often find that, through the process, individuals discover and realise strengths, qualities, and resilience that they never knew they had, boosting their self-esteem and amplifying their productivity.

Example packages:

6-week course

Initial assessment with education consultant (EC) and clinical psychologist (CP)
4 x hourly sessions with either the EC or CP*
