School Counsellor Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, In my current role as a school counsellor, I’ve supported students through a wide range of needs and seen how small, well-timed conversations can shift a day. At [Previous Company], I ran crisis and ongoing counselling sessions for about 60 students a term, with a focus on active listening and practical coping strategies. I’ve found that having a steady, calm presence and clear boundaries helps kids feel safe enough to share and start moving forward. I’m drawn to [Company Name] because of the emphasis on collaboration with families and teachers. My work centres on listening, empathy and information provision, with a practical approach to behaviour and attitude change. I’ve worked closely with learning support teams to adapt plans for students with special needs and to bridge gaps between home and school. I can contribute to parent-teacher liaison and offer straightforward guidance that families can apply at home and in classrooms. One recent example stands out. A student dealing with anxiety and stress around exams needed ongoing support beyond individual sessions. I coordinated with the classroom teacher and parents, helped the student develop a simple study routine, and provided targeted coping strategies. Over two terms the student reported improved concentration and greater confidence in test situations, with significantly improved engagement in class activities. I’m available for a discussion about how I can support your students and families at [Company Name]. I can start with a one hour meeting next week to map priorities and share a plan that fits your team. Kind regards, [Your Name]
