Psychological Support & Training for Pupils & Staff

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHALLENGES​

Schools face increasing pressure to support pupils experiencing emotional and behavioural difficulties. These challenges can significantly affect behaviour, attendance and attainment, and in some cases place pupils at risk of exclusion. Yet schools are deeply committed to helping their pupils succeed, and many recognise that they don’t have to meet these growing needs alone. Seeking specialist support is a proactive step that strengthens a school’s capacity to respond effectively and bring out the best in every child.

These challenges don’t just affect the individual child; they can:

Disrupt learning and classroom dynamics

Impact teaching, achievement and progress

Place strain on budgets, resources and staff time

Affect staff wellbeing and the wider school culture

Testimonials

“The quality of training and on-going advice provided has really supported our staff to further develop their understanding of children’s social, emotional and mental health difficulties. Their input has been pivotal to improving our behaviour management and to supporting the school community to openly discuss difficult emotions. Pupils, staff and families have very much appreciated their support this year.”

Heather Partington

“Having Victoria in two days per week benefits students and staff enormously. At the moment our local CAMHS services has around a six-month waiting list. Even then, when students are seen, they are limited to a short series of appointments. With Victoria we can have students seen quickly and they can continue to have sessions with her until they no longer require them. Victoria can also advise staff on the best way to work with students on her caseload. In a number of cases the outcomes for students has vastly improved because of Victoria’s work.”

The benefit of Unravel’s unique approach

Our team specialises in children’s emotional and behavioural psychology, using approaches built on more than 35 years of research. We work alongside schools to unravel the root causes of behaviour and provide effective tools that lead to long-lasting benefits and positive change for everyone.

Our approach supports:
  • Empowering young people to change
  • Reducing exclusions
  • Improving teaching, learning and attainment
  • Enhancing staff wellbeing and confidence
  • Supporting whole-school culture transformation

Tailored school packages

Every school is different, so we create packages based on your needs, budget and timescales. Support may include:
  • Face-to-face work with pupils
  • Assemblies and workshops
  • Staff training, CPD and reflective practice
  • Supervision and consultation
  • Assessment and report writing with clear strategies
  • Rapid response interventions during crisis moments

While some improvements can be seen quickly, meaningful cognitive and behavioural change requires time, consistency and a united approach across school staff.

We also offer cluster packages so schools can share costs while maintaining high-quality support for pupils.
