About Me

As an Educational Psychologist, Katherine supports children and young people navigating learning or developmental challenges. With an M.Ed Cum Laude, she offers a thoughtful approach to understanding individual needs. Sessions aim to uncover strengths and provide practical strategies, fostering confidence and academic success. This collaborative work helps families and educators create supportive environments where every child can thrive.

Approach

Further details on my website outline what to expect, and in practice I move steadily from careful assessment to hands-on planning with families and schools. Sessions are structured yet flexible: we observe, talk, try brief strategies together and set simple between-session tasks so progress is tracked. Feedback is clear and practical, aimed at building routines and confidence for the child while equipping caregivers and teachers with usable tools. This approach suits families seeking calm, focused support and measurable steps forward.
