Our international team of psychologists provides personalised, psychology-led coaching to help children and young people recognise their strengths, build confidence and achieve meaningful personal and educational goals. Using an outcomes-focused approach, we support our clients to develop practical strategies for emotional regulation, resilience, motivation, organisation and problem-solving. Coaching is tailored to each individual, equipping them with the skills, tools and self-understanding they need to overcome challenges, realise their potential and move forward with greater confidence and independence.

Our team of specialist psychologists brings extensive experience supporting children, young people and adults across a wide range of educational, clinical and community settings. Our expertise includes neurodiversity, autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, giftedness, developmental needs, emotional and behavioural challenges, trauma, anxiety and complex presentations.

Our psychologists work across schools, specialist provisions, healthcare and psychiatric settings, community services and the workplace, providing expert psychological assessment, consultation and evidence-based recommendations.

Alongside individual and family work, we provide comprehensive psychological and psycho-educational assessments, specialist reports and consultative services to schools and other professionals. Through our growing international network, families can access specialist psychological expertise both in the UK and internationally.

Harley Educational Psychology Practice (HEPP) brings together highly qualified and experienced psychologists providing specialist assessment and consultation for children, young people and adults in the UK and internationally. Every assessment is carefully tailored to the individual, their circumstances and the questions that need to be explored.

Before an assessment, clients or parents complete a consultation form so that our psychologists can understand their concerns, developmental and educational history, and the reasons for seeking assessment. A more detailed consultation forms part of the assessment process. Where appropriate, and with consent, our psychologists may also liaise with schools, colleges, workplaces or other professionals to build a fuller picture of the individual’s strengths and needs.

Our psychologists use a carefully selected range of standardised psychological and psycho-educational assessments, clinical approaches and specialist tools to explore areas including cognition, learning, attention, behaviour, emotional wellbeing and social development. Assessment findings are interpreted alongside background information and professional observations to develop a comprehensive understanding of the individual.

Following assessment, findings are brought together within a clear, comprehensive psychological report, including interpretation of results and practical, evidence-based recommendations for home, education or other relevant settings. Assessment sessions vary according to the age, needs and profile of each client, with appropriate breaks provided throughout where required.

At Harley Street Educational Psychology Practice, our team of specialist psychologists provides comprehensive psycho-educational assessments for children, young people and adults across the UK and internationally.

A psycho-educational assessment provides an in-depth understanding of an individual's unique cognitive, academic, learning, social-emotional and developmental profile. Rather than considering difficulties in isolation, our psychologists bring together assessment results, developmental and educational history, professional observations and information from families, schools and other specialists to develop a holistic understanding of the individual.

Depending on the reason for referral, an assessment may include:

• An initial consultation and clinical interview to explore presenting concerns, developmental history and educational experiences.

• Direct psychological and psycho-educational assessment of the child, young person or adult.

• Standardised cognitive, attainment and other specialist assessment measures.

• Clinical rating scales and questionnaires completed by the individual, parents, teachers or other professionals, where appropriate.

• Review of relevant documentation, including school reports, Individual Education Plans (IEPs), learning plans and previous professional reports.

• Consideration of relevant information from paediatricians, occupational therapists (OTs), speech and language therapists (SaLT) and other professionals.

• Professional scoring, analysis and interpretation of standardised assessment results.

• Feedback and consultation to explain the findings and discuss recommendations.

• A comprehensive written psychological report integrating background information, assessment findings, professional interpretation and individually tailored recommendations.

Assessments Across the Lifespan

Our international psychology practice supports individuals across different stages of life, although the majority of our work is with school-aged children and young adults.

For younger children, assessment may take a whole-child developmental approach, considering emerging cognitive, communication, learning, social and emotional development. For school-aged children and young people, assessment can help identify strengths alongside potential barriers to learning, including specific learning difficulties, attention and executive-functioning needs, giftedness and social-emotional factors.

For adults, assessment may provide greater understanding of longstanding learning differences, cognitive strengths and difficulties, educational needs or workplace requirements.

The purpose is not simply to produce a score or label. Our aim is to understand the individual behind the assessment and translate psychological evidence into clear, practical recommendations that can support learning, confidence, independence and future development.

Through our growing international network of psychologists, HEPP combines specialist expertise with international reach, enabling children, families, schools and adults to access exceptional-quality psychological assessment and guidance wherever they are in the world.

Choosing the right school or education system can be particularly complex for international families. HEPP provides psychology-led school placement and educational guidance for families considering schools, curricula and educational pathways in the UK and across the world.

Our psychologists consider the whole child: their cognitive and learning profile, strengths, additional needs, emotional wellbeing, educational history and future aspirations to help families make informed decisions about the environment in which their child is most likely to thrive.

We can advise families who are considering a change between educational systems, including British, American, International Baccalaureate (IB) and other international curricula, as well as transitions between mainstream, independent, international and specialist settings.

Where appropriate, we can undertake a psycho-educational assessment and provide a comprehensive psychological report to clarify a child's learning profile and identify the support, accommodations or educational provision they may require. We can also review existing school and professional reports and liaise with schools and other specialists where consent is provided.

For internationally mobile families, our global network of psychologists provides valuable insight into different educational contexts, helping parents understand not simply which school is available, but which educational environment is right for their child.

Whether a family is relocating internationally, changing curriculum, considering a new school or simply uncertain about their child's next educational step, HEPP provides independent psychological insight to help them move forward with clarity and confidence.

Our professional fees are tailored to the nature and complexity of the service required. Following your initial enquiry, HEPP will confirm the recommended service and provide a clear quotation before any work begins.

All fees and agreed services are confirmed in writing, with payment normally required in full at the time of booking. For international services, fees may vary according to location, assessment requirements and the specialist psychologist involved.
