Educational Psychology Services
We work with a range of settings within education to deliver high quality, innovative and creative Educational Psychology assessments and solution-oriented consultations.
We work to unlock potential and to support children and young people to flourish using approaches rooted in both Educational Psychology and Positive Psychology.
We can help with:
- Full Assessments of areas of strength and need.
- Support with Educational & Health Care Plans (EHCP's - England) and Individual Development Plans (IDPs - Wales).
- Consultations.
Positive Psychology Services
Psychology has traditionally had a negative bias with a focus on problems and helping others when things have gone wrong. Positive Psychology is a rapidly growing field and takes a different view by looking at how to facilitate optimal human functioning and focuses on things like happiness, wellbeing and fulfilment; it is the science of ‘flourishing’. Positive Psychology looks at the science behind why people thrive rather than why things go wrong. Applied Positive Psychology focuses on helping to change people’s wellbeing for the better. There is now an array of Positive Psychology Interventions that are theoretically grounded and empirically validated.
Using Positive Psychology we support the growth and wellbeing of not only children and young people, but also the adults who work with them. These are our Positive Psychology services for schools:
- Positive Psychology Wellbeing Assessments for Young People.
- Positive Psychology Wellbeing Assessments for Adults.
- 'Working on What Works' (WOWW) Solution Focused Classroom Management Intervention.
- Teacher Wellbeing Workshop.
- Understanding Positive Psychology for Schools Workshop.
Positive Psychology Wellbeing Assessments for Young People. This consists of a single assessment session with a young person who requires support with their wellbeing. A flourishing plan is provided following each assessment with practical actionable steps for both the young person and the adults who support them.
Positive Psychology Wellbeing Assessments for Teachers and Support Staff. This comprises a single session with a member of school staff who would like support to enhance their wellbeing. A flourishing plan is provided following the assessment with practical actionable steps.
‘Working on What Works’ (WOWW) Whole Class Behaviour Intervention Programme. Our WOWW service is a package of observations and consultations for one class. It is an inclusive, solution-focused approach, that helps to solve everyday problems within the classroom and supports systemic change.
Teacher Wellbeing Workshop. This is a half-day workshop for a small group of 6 teachers who wish to enhance their wellbeing. The content of the workshop draws on the evidence-base from Positive Psychology to support attendees to understand the factors that underlie wellbeing and how to harness these to live happy, fulling, values driven work and personal lives.
Understanding Positive Psychology for Schools Workshop. A half-day workshop for senior leaders to develop understanding about positive psychology, its application within schools, the benefits of adopting this approach for your school and how to make a start.

Coaching Services
Coaching is a way of working with people that focuses on supporting them to improve an area of their life they would like to change. Coaching Psychology is a branch of applied psychology that focuses on enhancing performance, wellbeing and development (Adams, 2016).
Coaching Psychology is evidence based and draws on theories and techniques embedded in psychological research. Research suggests that coaching interventions have a wide range of positive benefits in areas such as performance, wellbeing, coping, work attitudes and goal attainment (Hill & Oliver, 2019).
There is a cross-fertilisation between Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, where Coaching frameworks are combined with the science behind Positive Psychology to help individuals to become the best version of themselves. Our coaching services are:
- 'Fly High' Staff Coaching Programme.
- Coaching for Teacher Professional Development.
‘Fly High’ Staff Coaching Programme. Research has shown that happy teachers are more effective in their role and are better able to manage stress. Our Fly High Coaching Programme consists of 6 weekly or bi-weekly individual sessions, informed by Positive Psychology. The framework can be used to address any issue from teacher resilience, to supporting NQT’s, to leading a values driven life. So coaching is relevant whether or not there is a ‘problem’ and is often accessed by those who wish to grow, flourish and become the best version of themselves. We can deliver coaching both in person and online.
Coaching for Teacher Professional Development. This is a programme of 6 weekly or bi-weekly sessions with a teacher who wishes to further develop their classroom practice. The programme involves classroom observations followed by individual coaching conversation with the class teacher.
