An Educational Psychologist applies psychology (the study of thinking, learning and behaviour) to support the learning, development and wellbeing of children and young people.
How it can help
Many Essex EPs have specialist skills in areas such as autism, behaviour, literacy and mental health. An EP might be a good choice to help with significant learning or behaviour difficulties which are complicated, difficult to understand or have not improved with the support already in place.
Age
0 to 25
Eligibility
Open to:
- children and young people up to 25
- families
- pre-schools, schools and colleges
How to access
Parents and young people with concerns about their child's, their own learning or other psychological needs can contact the helpline.
An EP will listen to your concerns and discuss ideas, and help you consider what to do next.
Please note, there is no answering machine or opportunity to hold. If your call is not answered, they may already be speaking to a family so you wish to call back later.
