My name is Mrs Chapleo and I am the new learning mentor here at The Berkeley Academy.
There are a number of areas that I can cover and I am trained by Educational Psychologist to work with children either 1:1 or in small groups on:
Social Skills
Emotions
Bereavement
Social Stories
Anxiety
Anger Management
Self-Esteem
Relationships
Friendship issues
Focused Solution groups
Lego Therapy
And of course, Friendship
The aim of my sessions is to remove the barriers to learning and help every child reach their potential so they can be happy at school and at home. To give children a safe place to talk and relax with an open door policy and to be able to build a relationship to help with transitions.
My role works alongside parents/carers to support children and families in all areas, offer advice and sign post parents to external agencies to offer further support.
