I am a qualified Educational Psychologist. I assess the skills of children in their home or school setting and adults in their place of work. For young people, I write an EP report that can inform an EHCP request, mediation or tribunal. For adults, my report can lead to adjustments in the workplace. I am experienced in diagnosing dyslexia, measuring learning difficulties, and identifying neurodivergent learning styles. I give advice on behaviour, emotional issues and ADHD. My preference is to use WISC-V, WAIS-IV and WIAT-III
Clients can choose the level of input they require. For children: (i) early investigations of SEN plus a brief report (£200); (ii) more in-depth EP investigations plus a detailed report (£300 to £500) or a full IQ and academic skills investigation including an observation of the child in school (£600 to £800)
An experienced EP can identify a child's or an adult's learning needs and give advice in a detailed EP report. I prefer to meet the client face-to-face before embarking upon any detailed work. I then see the client once, twice or three times in the family home or their place of work. I am able to produce an EP report quickly.

I began work in Yorkshire mills. Then night school to Bradford Uni. I was a teacher in Hampshire for 16 years. I became an EP in the mid-90s when early identification and support for SEN was the call. EP in London, Manchester, Sunderland and Kirklees. I tried agency work but prefer private practice.

I am experienced in investigating learning, behavioural and social needs of children in school. I usually make good contact with children. I am OK for parents to observe when I am undertaking educational or IQ assessments with their child. My work results in a report identifying guidance on intervention strategies. I write Educational Psychology Advice as part of the EHCP process.

Recognizing and responding to specific learning needs and unusual learning styles is, in itself, therapeutic. As an EP, my investigative style in schools and with children is relaxed, informal and supportive. 28 years in EP work leaves me very experienced in this work. The focus of schools, LAs and SEN Tribunals has changed over the years. In my experience, parents want clarity, support and action
