Our applied psychologists have experience of working with young people, their families and teaching staff within educational contexts, as well as mental health, social care and criminal justice settings.
Underpinned by robust psychological practice, we focus on optimising attainment and performance whilst promoting staff, pupil and team well-being. We aim to empower school leaders and staff to feel confident and competent in supporting the wellbeing of their pupils and workforce, and promote resilience across the wider school system.
We recognise that each educational setting is unique, so for a bespoke package of our psychological services tailored to meet your needs, please get in touch...
