ABOUT ME
Chartered Educational Psychologist and SEND Consultant
I am a Chartered Educational Psychologist, experienced educator, and Director of Sharpe Psychology Ltd with almost 30 years' experience in the world of education. I have extensive expertise in psychological assessment, consultation, training, and teaching. After completing my degree in Psychology, I began my career as a primary teacher before qualifying as an Educational Psychologist (EP). I spent 15 years working as an EP within a large local authority, including 7 years as a Senior EP managing a large locality team of psychologists. Following this, I moved into the independent sector as Head of Learning Support and Assistant Head (Pastoral) at a prep school, while continuing to run my private EP practice. I hold a Doctorate in Educational Psychology from UCL. Now working full time in private practice, I support schools, pupils, and families across both local authority and independent sectors. I am an experienced conference speaker, formerly served as SEND Subject Advisor for the Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS), and currently sit on the Independent Schools Council (ISC) Cross-Association SEND Advisory Group.
​
I am a registered Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC): PYL20030.
