Educational psychology services
Educational psychology services for schools and academies in London and the South East.
Welcome to South East Psychology
South East Psychology is a social enterprise providing educational psychology services to schools and academies in London and the South East.
We provide a high quality and cost-effective alternative or complement to local authority services and have extensive experience in working with primary, secondary and special schools and academies.
We provide a range of services including consultation, supervision, assessment, intervention and training.
All psychologists working with South East Psychology are registered with the HCPC.
Coronavirus Resources for Schools and Families
We have put together a collection of resources relating to the Coronavirus that can be freely downloaded for your school or family.
Our Core Beliefs and Values
Ethics and Integrity
High standards of ethics and integrity, guided by the British Psychological Society Division of Educational and Child Psychology codes of conduct, are fundamental to all aspects of our practice.
Positive Relationships
Positive and trusting relationships which promote feelings of safety and security are fundamental for growth and development.
Promoting Inclusion
Schools both reflect and shape society and should therefore welcome and include all children and young people from the locality they serve. All our involvement is aimed at promoting inclusion, which involves changing schools, not changing children.
Collaboration
Collaboration with children and young people, their parents and carers, education staff and other professionals is crucial to bring about positive change.
Our Services
School and Academy Support
We work with teachers, students and parents/ carers. Work is delivered at either the individual, group or whole school level.
INSET and CPD
South East Psychology CIC is a registered provider of ELSA training and supervision and a Licensee for the FRIENDS Resilience programme.
ELSA Training
South East Psychology CIC is a registered provider of ELSA training and supervision and has a long and successful track record of providing ELSA training and on-going support and supervision for ELSAs in schools.
South East Psychology believes that educational psychology services should be freely available through schools or local authorities to all children who are failing to make adequate progress or experience social, emotional or behavioural difficulties related to school. We are currently unable to undertake work commissioned directly by parents/carers.
If you have a concern about your child’s educational progress or behaviour in school, arrange to meet with the school’s Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo), who will explain how the school is supporting your child. If your child fails to make satisfactory progress despite support and interventions, the school might make a referral to an educational psychologist (or another professional).
ELSA Trainee 3 December 2021I enjoyed the sessions and will miss coming to ELSA training every two weeks. I have already found it useful at work and at home.
Secondary SENCo, December 2017"The service you provide is invaluable and we could not do our job without it."
Parent, May 2018"Best thing we ever did for our boys! So helpful and easy. Lucy was great with them."
ELSA Trainee 5 December 2021I’m very grateful for the opportunity to be trained as an ELSA. It’s important that we have the right support to help scaffold children in their emotional journey through their lives. Thank you for everything, looking forward to keeping in touch and starting my role in full.
Secondary SENCo Dec 2017 (2)"Having the services of our own Trust EPs is extremely valuable to our students as well as staff. The EPs take the time to build a rapport with the students and their parents."
