All advice is free and confidential.
What does an Educational Psychologist do?
Educational psychologists work together with
parents, schools and other professionals to improve learning
opportunities for children and young people, particularly those
with special educational needs. We have qualified and worked
as teachers and are graduate psychologists with additional professional
training in child and educational psychology.
Educational psychologists work for the Local
Education Authority. We each cover an area of Peterborough,
and are responsible for providing a service for children living
there.
Which children do we work with?
Educational psychologists work with children
and young people in the 0-19 age range who may have difficulties
in one or more areas, such as:
- General development and learning.
- Communication and language (e.g. speaking, listening and writing).
- Physical skills.
- Relationships.
- Hearing or vision.
- Medical problems which affect learning.
- We work alongside parents and schools to resolve difficulties
or provide support.
Our way of working
The Educational Psychology Service does not
operate an open referral service. Early Years settings and schools
will refer children to us, and will be seen by an Educational
Psychologist only when you have given your permission for your
child to be seen.

Psychologists in Peterborough: A guide for parents and carers
