My name is Louise Alltimes, I am the Counselling Services Manager from The Ealing Schools Counselling Partnership. My role is to provide emotional support to parents/carers and children within Clifton Primary School.

The Space – A Place to Talk

We have a lunchtime drop-in every Monday called ‘The Space’ for children who may be struggling with their feelings, they may feel vulnerable in the playground or who have something that is concerning them. This is a place where they can come and talk alone or with a friend about their worries. If you do not want your child to use this service, please let us know.

Parents' Drop-In

Part of the service we offer a regular Parent’s Drop in between 9-10 am every Monday. This is a strictly confidential space in which you may discuss any concerns you have about your child(ren) and/or receive emotional support due to difficulties that maybe going on in your life i.e. bereavement, separation, stress, anxiety, etc.

If you would like to attend or would like more information, please contact me on; Tel: 07582310756, E-mail: tcameron11.307@lgflmail.org or leave a message with the school office and I will get back to you.

I also work alongside Holly Petit who is a Trainee Therapist working in school every Monday. Holly works with children for 1:1 therapy, using play and the arts to process and manage difficult feelings and work through past and present challenging life events.
