Counsellors

Be supported while supporting others. Galea helps you identify concerns, prioritise support, and track change over time — giving you the clarity and evidence you need to advocate, escalate, or intervene.

Who this page is for

For counsellors and non-clinical support roles working across education and workplace settings.

  • Schools — school counsellors, pastoral care, safeguarding staff
  • Universities — student wellbeing teams, mental health advisors, safeguarding
  • Workplaces — HR teams, workplace counsellors, peer supporters

Also relevant for:

Peer support workers, charity-based and faith-informed counsellors, EAP partners, and others offering non-clinical support in community, cultural, or occupational settings.

What the Galea platform does

Digital tools for counsellors in schools, universities, and workplaces — designed to support your judgement and reduce admin.

Offer discreet check-ins

Give people a private, self-guided way to reflect — without forcing them to “perform” in the room.

  • Low-friction first step
  • Reduces stigma
  • Supports help-seeking

Structure conversations

Use guided prompts and clinically informed insights to make sessions clearer, safer, and more consistent.

  • Better focus
  • More consistent notes
  • Clearer next steps

Track change over time

Track progress or warning signs while protecting privacy — supporting continuity even when access is limited.

  • Optional follow-ups
  • Outcome visibility
  • Consent-based sharing

Why it matters

You are often the first or only support person available. Galea helps you:

  • Identify silent struggles early
  • Structure and document sessions efficiently
  • Provide a helpful starting point for someone reluctant to talk
  • Offer support to those waiting for more formal care
  • Stay connected to outcomes even across a large caseload

It’s built to enhance your skillset, not replace it — flexible, empathetic, and designed for your role.

Two-way learning

  • Self-assessments inform support sessions
  • Counsellor input improves future tool use
  • Aggregated trends inform your wellbeing strategy
