Wellington Educational Psychology

Wellington Educational Psychology is an establishment located in Wellington, New Zealand. As a health institution, it serves as a point of interest for individuals seeking support for children and young people with additional learning, social, emotional, and behavioral needs. With over 20 years of experience as an educational psychologist and prior experience as a high school teacher, the team at Wellington Educational Psychology is dedicated to providing practical advice and strategies to promote the wellbeing and learning of children.

At Wellington Educational Psychology, we offer assessments of individual students upon the request of parents, whānau (extended family), schools, or other agencies. These assessments typically take up to 2 hours and result in a comprehensive written report that outlines the student's cognitive strengths and areas for improvement. We also provide specific feedback to whānau and teachers, helping them identify goals and next steps to support the student's development.

Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. We work closely with tamariki (children), whānau, and schools to apply psychology in a way that addresses a range of learning and behavioral needs. Our team is committed to designing bespoke training and support for schools, as well as assisting them in developing school-wide strategies to support students with diverse needs.

The feedback we have received from our clients speaks to the effectiveness of our services. One parent expressed their gratitude for the practical ideas and support provided by our psychologist, Karen, who not only helped their child but also supported the school. Another client shared their positive experience with Karen, highlighting her friendly nature and ability to create a comfortable environment. They also mentioned how Karen helped them manage their anger and emotions, allowing them to develop new strategies and be proud of their progress.

We take pride in our ability to establish excellent rapport with our students and provide professional and quality assessments and interventions. Wellington Educational Psychology is dedicated to supporting children, their families, and education professionals in their journey towards improved learning and wellbeing.
