What is Guidance & Counselling

Guidance is a service provided in schools by guidance counsellors in the areas of Career Guidance, Educational Guidance and Personal Guidance (or Counselling).

Personal Guidance

Guidance counsellors are specially trained in counselling. We can help you see problems from a different perspective. You can talk to us about any personal difficulties that you might have at home, with friends, with your parents, at school or socially. We guarantee you that we will not disclose anything you tell us in confidence to anyone else, unless you are doing something illegal, or dangerous, or something that could be harmful to yourself or to others.

Career Guidance

This includes helping you choose the right career, college course or training course. Note the word ‘helping’ is underlined, we do not make career decisions for you!!

Educational Guidance

This covers advice and help on things like choosing subjects, choosing higher or ordinary level in the Leaving Certificate, difficulties with studying and with exam preparation.
