Parents and Carers
Thank you for your interest in parent / carer commissioned Educational Psychologist work. We have very limited capacity to do parent / carer commissions, because most of our work involves fulfilling school contracts. However, if you do wish to enquire about our capacity, please note the key information below and then complete the form.
- We only work in London and the South East
- All parent / carer commissioned casework will require a visit for assessment to our Greenwich office, SE10 9FR.
- Prices can be found below.
- Please note that there is high demand for parent / carer commissioned work at the moment, which will mean that we cannot accept all referrals.
