Educational Psychology

Last updated on 29 April 2026

Educational Psychologists (known as EPs) use psychology to support the learning, development and emotional wellbeing of children and young people.

We work together with parents and carers, educational and other professionals, and children and young people. Our job is to help identify and meet the needs of children and young people, and support educational settings (nurseries, schools, colleges) to find ways forward.
