What happens in the sessions with the school psychologist?

That depends on the concerns you have at the time. If you are having difficulty with school work, motivation or studying there might be some formal assessment and recommendations.

If you are having difficulty with friends or with other relationships, the psychologist can assist with problem solving and can help with thinking and coping strategies which might help you manage better.

Seeing the psychologist is an opportunity to explore your ideas and think about the way you see the world.

Sessions with the psychologist are usually about 50 minutes long and can occur weekly or more often if you need. The psychologist will discuss with you if a referral to another support agency would be more helpful.
