I recognise how demanding professional life can be, and that it is not always possible or easy to offload onto family, friends or colleagues.
This has lead me to being increasingly used to offer staff an ethical ear and safe, confidential space to “unpack” the parts of their role they find challenging and support them in managing their work better. Staff feed back to me that this improves the way they feel about their work and helps them understand themselves better.
I support school staff with counselling when individual staff members are having a difficult time.
