For Young People
Hi! I’m Rachael and I am an Educational Psychologist, which means that I work with young people to help them with any issues or difficulties that they might be having within school (or college). I have worked with young people for over 20 years and really love what I do.

This is me (on the left) with my daughters and our dog!
When I work with you, this will usually involve you doing some tasks and activities so that I can find out more about your skills in different areas – this will show me all of the things that you are really good at and the things that are more difficult for you. Then we can talk together about what might help you at school (or college) and I will feedback to an adult in your family and also to the SENDCo (key person in Learning Support) at your school (or college).
I know that it might feel a bit daunting sometimes working with someone who you haven’t met before but I will be kind, supportive and encouraging when we work together 😊. If you have any questions before we meet, please ask someone at home to email me with your question/s or ask the SENDCo at school/college who may be able to give you the answer/s!
