About Me

As a Chartered Educational Psychologist and qualified wellness coaching psychologist, I work with children and young people to remove barriers to their learning.

My aim is to support your child’s well-being and remove their barriers to learning through the application of psychology. I do this through drawing upon the knowledge of those that know the child well (you and the teaching staff in their school).

My job is to be helpful, identify what is going well and perhaps what needs to change in the environment to support a child better. That will mean working through their adults to make those changes. I strongly believe that positive change happens when the systems around the child work together to make changes.

Areas that I can support you with:

– Cognition and learning / Dyslexia
– Social, Communication and Interaction difficulties
– Social, Emotional and Mental Health (including relationships, friendships, confidence, self-esteem, challenging behaviour and attachment difficulties)
– Autistic Spectrum Conditions / Disorders (ASD)
– Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
