Dear Parents,
we are happy to introduce to you our School Counsellor, Ani Raniauli. Please find below some information on her background.
I am a Wellbeing professional with a background in clinical psychology and psychotherapy. I have been in the education system for many years as a teacher, trainer and counselor.
I believe that the most important aspect while working with students is a sense of security and safety, as well as being heard and seen. The crucial factor in building trust is to be able to see from their unique perspectives and lenses, to let them know they will be considered and respected.
Wellbeing counseling is a collaborative resource to help students thrive and explore their resourcefulness, understand themselves and their emotions better in their educational journey, not only in difficult/crisis moments. It also involves working together with teachers, parents and other staff members to cultivate the best environments for students.
This is why it is important to be visible and involved in the lives of students, as they always know how to approach and reach out. Students can feel at ease with me because I never rush, I give them enough space to take their time and enough space to share. I show how genuinely curious I am about what they have to say.
Behind the wellbeing counselor and professional role there is Ani, a Georgian person passionate about languages, other cultures and art – specifically writing poetry.
It is an honor to be part of this community and I am looking forward to bringing my experience to H-FARM school.
