About Me

 

Educational psychologists (also known as EPs or Ed Psychs) are professionals with specialist knowledge in how children and young people develop, learn and behave. They hold a masters or doctorate qualification in Educational Psychology, alongside prior experience working with children and young people.

​

I am an experienced educational psychologist with over 13 years practice working for the Local Authority and privately. Prior to this I taught in both a mainstream primary school and a special education provision for young people with social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH). During my teaching I held the position of Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) and supported two schools through their Ofsted inspections.

My qualifications are as follows:

• BSc Psychology with Education Studies (University of Winchester)

• Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) (University of Chichester)

• Post Graduate Certificate in Advanced Education Studies -SENCo qualification (PGCAE) (University of Winchester)

• Doctorate in Educational Psychology (D.EdPsych) (University of Southampton)

I currently work part time as an Independent Educational Psychologist, and Holistic Energy Practitioner (Reiki Master).  I have two young children.

​

I primarily work with families who have children/young people aged up to 25 years. I also work with schools, colleges and preschool settings.
