Background
I work with the sixteen plus age range and have worked as a psychologist in assessment for nearly 25 years, spanning students and employees across a diverse range of sectors. I have designed large-scale assessment processes as well as administering one-to-one assessments with individuals. I have over ten years’ experience of assessing students as part of their application for government funding via the DSA (Disability Support Application).
How I can help
I am an empathic and down-to-earth psychologist. Feedback from those I have assessed describe me as “professional but approachable” which I think fits me well. I am keen to ensure that you have a robust and fair assessment and at the same time I am conscious about putting people at ease and ensuring that they feel comfortable with every part of the process. I am keen to help students and adults who want to identify if their difficulties are related to a specific learning difficulty and what can be put in place to support them in their studies or work.
