I am an Independent Educational Psychologist, registered through the British Psychological Society and the Health and Care Professionals Council and have CRB clearance. I qualified as a teacher in 1982, quickly choosing to specialise in children with special educational needs. During a 14-year career in secondary teaching, I worked in mainstream schools and with children with emotional and behavioural difficulties, finally as a special educational needs co-ordinator in a local comprehensive school.
Services
Observation (if relevant) of the child or young person in context - at home or in an educational setting. This may involve an element of working alongside the child in order to observe learning and working styles and social interaction. Direct work with the young person including discussion, psychological testing of performance and more informal observation and assessment to ascertain preferred learning styles and potential.
In the workplace, previously un-identified learning difficulties can cause problems in a number of areas, causing frustration and stress for the employee and perhaps tension with other colleagues. I see many adults who have self-referred, or who have come for an assessment on the advice of their manager at work.
