Let’s Talk

If you’re ready to talk, let’s change your future now.

  • Honest Reflection

    Non-managerial supervision provides school staff with a safe place to openly discuss challenges, explore boundaries, and recharge. Unlike managerial supervision, it prioritises the individual’s growth, allowing staff to be vulnerable without concerns of judgement from their line manager.

  • Bespoke Support

    Our supervision services are designed for anyone working with students, including teachers, Head Teachers, Pastoral Leads, SENCOs, Teaching Assistants, and Safeguarding Leads. Whether experienced professionals or those new to their careers, we help them manage workloads and strengthen boundaries, supporting their well-being and effectiveness.

  • Experienced & Compassionate

    Our team, led by George Brooks and Emma Gartside, brings extensive experience in education and counselling, creating a supportive environment for staff to develop personally and professionally.

  • Flexible & Confidential

    Sessions can be held in-person or online (via Zoom, Teams, or Skype) for an experience that fits around school schedules. Each session is strictly confidential, following child protection and safeguarding standards.

Kind Words From Our Clients

  • "George is a skilled supervisor. He has high level of interpersonal skills which he uses to great effect in the work he does with staff. George supports staff by providing effective supervision, not only to support staff themselves, but also to support the staff as they, in turn, support students through difficult times."

    - Sally Beevers Ex-Headteacher Broadgreen School

  • “First and foremost, sessions with George Brooks leave me with a deep sense of being empowered with new insights for effective work into the future. He is kind, patient, and more than anything, George is a person who has the gift of listening with profound understanding.”

    - Imelda Poole MBE - Mary Ward Loreto Foundation Albania/UK

  • "George has very good coaching skills. He is a very good listener and is very empathetic, and he helped me to reflect more deeply on the challenges I faced, re-framing negative emotions, which empowered me to act. He also introduced me to models and frameworks which helped me to understand what I was experiencing more deeply. George was also able to guide me to find strategies that helped me to develop habits to manage the emotional impact of work pressure."

    - Simon Goodwin Ex Headteacher South Wirral School

  • "George is highly skilled at helping staff to pinpoint their own individual stressors, and equally skilled at providing strategies to deal with them. One aspect of George's work that was particularly valued was the individuality of his approach, with staff using their sessions in very different ways, depending on their own needs and personalities. We would recommend George to other schools without hesitation."

    - Phillip Arrowsmith Headteacher Wirral Hospitals' School
