During adolescence, young people experience many challenges and sometimes these challenges can be a cause for concern. Counselling at Siena College is available to all students to help address concerns in a confidential and respectful way. As such, this allows students to take maximum advantage of their learning opportunities.

Parents, friends and teachers are all important in the emotional wellbeing of a young person, so strengthening these support networks is an important part of the counselling process.

The Counsellors help students through a wide range of difficulties and problems in order to support their overall wellbeing. These can include:

• Family relationships
• Difficulties with friendships or forming friendships
• Insomnia due to excessive worrying
• Feeling scared, anxious or sad

All information gathered by Siena College Counsellors remains confidential. However, information has to be disclosed at times.
