Schools

Kathleen works with maintained and independent schools across Essex and Suffolk. Through a friendly, collaborative and solution-focused approach, she helps children, parents and schools to identify and overcome barriers to progress and to build on children’s strengths.

Support available to schools includes:

Individual assessment for children and young people experiencing learning, social and emotional difficulties. Following assessment Kathleen produces a detailed written report which clearly identifies the child or young person’s strengths and needs and documents agreed outcomes alongside clear and specific evidence-based recommended support and provision.
Working with schools to support children with complex needs such as children with autism and other developmental difficulties and those with mental health needs.
Facilitating school-family consultations, working together to understand children’s needs and developing agreed outcomes and support strategies.
Psychological supervision for senior leaders, teachers and support workers, especially those working with children with complex learning, social and emotional needs.
Running half day teacher ‘drop-in’ consultations in school, to problem-solve and plan for children causing concern.
Working strategically with SENCOs to map provision and develop comprehensive and evidence-based support for children with additional needs in their school.

Kathleen is happy to discuss concerns informally before receiving a referral from schools
