Our Educational Psychology services are bespoke to fit your needs.

Assessment

Classroom observation
Assessment

Assessment is conducted in a relaxed and friendly way that is comfortable for you. An assessment typically involves:

  • Completing a background questionnaire
  • Meeting with a Chartered Educational Psychologist
  • Participating with a number of cognitive (problem solving) tests, together with further literacy related (reading and spelling) tests, lasting up to 2 hours.

A report is provided in under 10 days.

Children and students with dyslexia, dyspraxia and other needs are shown a strength and weakness profile, accompanied by recommendations.

If in the Sixth Form, a report might enable students to access a Needs Assessment for Disability Student Allowance (DSA), resulting in resources to assist with their dyslexic or particular learning needs.

Advice and Support

Blackboard

We provide advice and consultation with SENCos, Inclusion Managers, Headteachers, Class teachers, parents and others.

We deliver awareness raising courses and briefings lead by an Educational Psychologist.

Our courses explore what a specific learning difficulty (such as dyslexia) is and how it can affect individuals, outlining their skills and abilities and presenting strategies for both teaching staff and the individual.

Schools usually contact us directly regarding their specific training needs. Bereavement and Counsellor support available

Counselling Services

Our counselling approach is empowering, using person centred principles.

We may also use a range of other approaches which we feel will help.

Our first step is to organise a brief chat to talk through key details and find out if Ria’s services are suitable for you. Ria is primarily a person-centred counsellor based in Bexhill, operating in Hastings, Eastbourne and surrounding areas
