School Counselling

Ardal43 is a charity that has been providing support and information for young people since 1996. They provide independent assistance to young people from schools in Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, and the support available to all individuals aged 10 to 18 within schools.

The support they provide is strictly confidential and assists pupils with all kinds of needs. Each counsellor who works at Ysgol Y Strade is fully trained and equipped to support pupils from all backgrounds.
Any referral to the counsellor is treated with complete confidentiality and the counsellors will not discuss the pupil’s issues with any staff member.  The only situation when they must share information is when child protection issues arise.
