​If your child is struggling to learn or to understand school and home routines and expectations, we can help.

When you contact Edpsych:

  • Your psychologist will discuss your needs and select the services that are best for you and your child. 
  • Gather some background information about your child’s early development, family history and experience with education. 
  • Provide a written report for you to share with teachers or other professionals.

​Written reports

​Assessments are individually selected to provide insight into how your child is functioning.  Standardised assessments will be administered in a one to one setting.  After a short settling period of about 15 minutes you will be able to leave your child until the assessment is completed.  

Using understanding and experience of behavioural psychology we will work together to develop a plan to support your parenting goals.  

We provide a user friendly and practical report in plain English.  Reports contain information to support understanding of your child’s needs and recommendations which are evidence based, and tailored to support your child.

In addition to the main, comprehensive report we also provide a one page summary suitable for sharing with a wider audience.

Study Re‑Engagement and Exam Preparation Coaching Robyn works with mature students who are returning to study or facing high‑stakes exams. Her coaching blends practical learning strategies with supportive guidance to help students rebuild confidence, manage overwhelm, and approach study with clarity and purpose. The focus is on understanding individual learning needs and creating realistic, effective study routines.

​A key part of creating a unique plan to support your child is time to discuss the situation.  Following up from psychological assessment it may be useful for us to book time to discuss the implications of the assessment and develop a plan to create unique solutions.  Follow up discussions will take place via video conferencing. If you require an in person meeting this may be arranged but may incur additional costs.
Children with specific learning difficulties may be entitled to special assessment conditions when they enter the formal exam system at secondary school or university. 
I can create a comprehensive report to provide to your child’s School or University to support applications for special assessment conditions.  Special assessment conditions might include, extra time, the use of a computer, a reader or writer or separate accommodation during exams.
