Hello,I am Peter Hudson. I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, and a past Chair of the British Association of Social Functioning. I have worked in the state sector within the UK’s National Health Service as well as schools in the UK, Asia, the Middle East and Mexico.I founded The School Counselling Trust in 1999, an organisation that later evolved into the Motivated Learning Trust, which aims to help teachers improve academic results by focusing on the social and emotional issues of students that otherwise get in the way of their motivation. We deliver very practical course on focused listening skills for teachers and school management teams. One very important outcome of this work has been the development of the Student Motivation Questionnaire (SMQ), a powerful analytical tool, which gives a snapshot of the emotional health of students and enables them, under the guidance of their teachers, to examine the most urgent issues affecting their motivation for learning. The SMQ also groups students in any cohort according to the level and kid of support needed: It can help towards ALL students improving academic outcomes from those in need of counselling to gifted and talented by identifying who is emotionally strong enough to push hard and who needs further pastoral support first.I also work with business and the professions, helping organisations to develop the kind of listening skills that improve company performance by enhancing relationships with clients and amongst staff teams.
