Chatbus South - Mobile Counselling

We are excited to have the Chatbus Mobile Counselling Service operating at Salford School.

Our day for Chatbus visits is Wednesdays this year. 

The Board (consisting of 10 schools) is formally known as Chatbus South Trust and currently employs Miles Guenther-Dotten as the Chatbus South’s Counsellor for five of the schools - Salford included.  Miles is a fully qualified and registered Counsellor with a teaching background.

Here is a 4 minute video introducing Miles and the service -    Chatbus South Promo Video.mov 

If you would like to make a referral to Chatbus for your child(ren), please fill out our digital google form: Chatbus Referral form

There are also paper referral forms available from the office or your child's classroom teacher if you need one.

In order to protect children and counsellors at Chatbus all sessions are video recorded without sound. These are uploaded and stored for a limited time at one of the Chatbus Schools.

Chatbus South trust also has a Facebook page where hints, tips and ideas to support parents with strategies and insights that they can use with their children are shared. https://www.facebook.com/ChatbusSouth

Here is a short video which is on our facebook page that shares the story of how Chatbus originated and gives an overview of this service:
