Guidance and Counselling Service

The College Guidance & Counselling Service is a confidential service available to all students in the school. The College Guidance Counsellors are Roy Mallon and Gerry Reilly. 

What does the Guidance & Counselling Service offer?

• Career Guidance – you can get advice and practical guidance on planning your career. You will be helped to build career development skills and research employment opportunities. You can take tests and inventories to ascertain your skills, abilities and interests.

• Educational Guidance and Counselling - you can get help and advice in areas such as: choosing optional subjects, further study options, adjusting to life in Third level, apprenticeships, study skills and exam techniques. You can also get assistance with applications to UK Colleges (UCAS) and Irish Colleges (CAO or direct entry application forms).

• Personal Counselling – this area of the Counselling Service gives you an opportunity to talk about personal issues that may be bothering you. This is done in private, with someone who is trained to help you and on whom you can rely to keep the matter completely confidential. The Counselling Service should not be regarded as a last resort. You also do not need to have huge problems before you look for help. The sooner a problem is addressed, the quicker it can be resolved.
