Services provided
Consultation, assessment and intervention for children and families. I provide services such as consultations to explore issues (mental health, learning, behaviour, self-esteem, anxiety, anger) and facilitate ways forward. Full cognitive assessments to support children (aged 0-25) in school and at home, alongside mental health support and intervention. Short term (12 weeks) individual interventions tailored to the specific need and/or group interventions targeting areas such as friendship skills, confidence, fine-motor and writing, comprehension, emotional literacy and many more.
My Approach:
I am a Child and Educational Psychologist, supporting children and families with any difficulties they are facing. I do this through consultation, working with the parents to identify successful strategies and support the parents in implementing these in the home. I work one-to-one with children and young people to support their understanding of the world, themselves and/or their learning, using a combination of psychological approaches to provide support. I understand that taking the first step towards finding professional help and support can be daunting and I aim to support the whole system that impacts on the child’s life, that family the school and the individual. I work for a fixed term short period where I consult, assess, plan and deliver interventions as necessary.
Sometimes we need help and support beyond our friends and family, someone to really listen to us, a skilled professional who can explore with us the difficulties that life brings and potential solutions. I use solution focused brief therapy approaches, cognitive behavioural approaches, dynamic assessment and many more evidence based practices to support you. I have helped many people with a variety of problems and have seen the change that a good, trusting therapeutic relationship can bring to the whole family.
I can also do formal assessments, such as full cognitive assessments, Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnostics and explore many other areas that can impact a child or young person.
