Meet Our School Counsellor Caleb Questel

My name is Caleb Questel. I have relocated from the UK, and I am very excited to take on the role of School Counsellor here at BIS Abu Dhabi. I am an experienced Social Worker with specialist expertise in Learning Disabilities and Mental Health. Within social work, I have always championed the use of psychosocial interventions. I consider these to be a key component of counselling, as a means of bringing meaningful change in the lives of those I work with.

I believe that with the right level of dedication, patience, nurturing, and guidance, children can be supported to lead successful lives despite the range of difficulties often experienced.

Prior to becoming a social worker, I worked passionately as a specialist learning mentor in a school within Greater Manchester, UK. This role allowed me to refine my skills in re-engaging students with their education provision. These students often faced difficulties in education due to their complex personal lives.

I look forward to drawing on a wealth of knowledge gained from years of social work practice to excel in my role as a School Counsellor. My commitment to providing a safe and supportive environment will empower students to become resilient individuals, while achieving their academic and personal goals. Skilled in crisis intervention, individual and group counselling, and fostering positive relationships within the school community, I am dedicated to nurturing a culture of inclusivity, empathy, and personal growth among students and teachers.
