We can help, it's always good to talk
At Marsden, student wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. Our Guidance Counsellors are part of the wider Hauora Team and provide a safe, supportive space for students to talk about anything that may be affecting their learning, relationships or emotional wellbeing.
Students may see a counsellor for a wide range of reasons, from managing friendships and stress, to navigating family changes, building confidence, or seeking support during more challenging times. Our counsellor works closely with students, families and staff to help young people develop resilience, self-understanding and positive strategies for everyday life.
Our Guidance Counsellors are based in Room 41 in the Hauora Hub and is available during the school week. They can be contacted directly by email.
