Home is where your child performs best
A familiar environment reduces anxiety and allows your child to demonstrate their true abilities. Using the same internationally recognised assessments delivered by an HCPC Registered Educational Psychologist, our remote assessments provide the same clinical rigour without the stress of attending a clinic.
Psychoeducational & Neurodevelopmental
Getting started is simple
One enquiry sets everything in motion. Through your own secure portal you share school reports, past assessments, or notes from teachers. If the school is involved, we coordinate directly with the SENCO so you don't have to chase anyone. The assessment happens remotely, from the comfort of home, with pre and post-assessment consultations arranged around you. And you're never left with a report you can't decode. Every assessment ends with a full consultation with the Psychologist that walks you through exactly what it means for your child.
Our Specialities
How does the process work?
1
Fill Out the Enquiry & Booking Form
We'll confirm your child's needs, answer your questions, and book a time that suits you. No referral needed and no waiting list. Upon confirmation & payment we send you a secure link to a background information portal to upload all the background information we require to tailor the assessment specifically for your child.
2
Assessment Day
Before the assessment begins, the psychologist meets with you privately, without your child present, to explore your child's background and developmental history in depth. This is where the detail that shapes the assessment comes from. What you've observed at home, how school has gone, what's been tried, what's worked and what hasn't. It ensures the assessment is built around your child specifically.

14-Days from Assessment to Report
You will receive a detailed 10–15 page diagnostic report that provides a complete cognitive, academic and information processing profile of your child, identifies the underlying causes of their difficulties, explains how these affect learning, behaviour and everyday functioning, and confirms the classroom accommodations, exam access arrangements and educational support they require. The report includes clear, evidence-based recommendations for both school and home, is written to DSM-5-TR and ICD-11 standards by an HCPC-registered Educational Psychologist, and is recognised by schools, examination boards and universities worldwide. Where required, it is also structured to satisfy Regulation 6 psychological advice for Education, Health and Care Needs Assessments, including direct incorporation into Sections B and F.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cost of an EP Report
An EP report from SEN Psychology costs £2,100 and this is fully inclusive. As a private provider we are not tied to any Local Authority, and are not limited by the scope of recommendations we can make.
Our client families choose us because we provide immediate access to highly qualified HCPC-registered educational psychologists with no waiting lists, and because our reports are recognised by schools, exam boards, universities and Local Authorities.
Do you complete Form 8 for exam access arrangements?
Yes. Our psychologists complete Part 2 of Form 8, the assessor’s section, using the standardised scores from the assessment. Most private assessments leave your SENCo to work through a report and transfer the evidence themselves.
Do you offer standalone ADHD diagnosis
We can assess and psychologically diagnose ADHD as a standalone assessment, against DSM-5-TR and ICD-11 criteria. We use the MOXO continuous performance test, which measures attention, timing, impulsivity and hyperactivity objectively under standardised visual and auditory distraction, so performance is measured directly rather than inferred from someone’s impression of your child.
That sits alongside structured rating scales completed by you and by school, the SNAP-IV 26 and the Conners, an executive functioning inventory, and a full developmental and clinical history taken directly from you.
Our Psychologists can officially diagnose ADHD including which presentation it is, and how severe it is.
If you then want to explore medication, take the report to your GP. Medication is prescribed by a paediatrician or psychiatrist, and your GP refers into that pathway.
A full diagnostic report with objective attention data and standardised scores is exactly the evidence that supports a referral, and it is considerably more than most families have when they start that conversation.
The cost of an ADHD assessment and clinical diagnosis is £1,150 with the results available 14-days after assessment.
How does an assessment actually help my child?
The most immediate change is that your child stops being misunderstood. Children who struggle without a known reason draw their own conclusions long before anyone else does, and the conclusion is almost always that they are stupid, lazy, or the problem in the room. They have usually been told some version of it, by a report card, a frustrated teacher, or a classmate. An assessment replaces that with an explanation. There is a reason, it has a name, it is not their fault, and it is not about how clever they are.
It changes what is expected of them. Once a school understands that a child’s difficulty producing written work is a processing or motor issue rather than a lack of effort, the response changes from pressure to support. Work is presented differently, expectations are set against what your child can actually do, and the daily experience of being asked to do something they cannot do stops.
It puts the right help in place, specifically. An assessment identifies what your child needs rather than what generally helps children with similar difficulties. Extra time in exams, a laptop, work broken into steps, instructions repeated and chunked, movement breaks, teaching that plays to strengths rather than repeatedly hitting the weakness. These are the adjustments that make the difference between coping and getting nowhere.
It shows what your child is good at. Assessments are usually sought because something is going wrong, and the profile that comes back almost always contains genuine strengths that nobody had measured, sometimes considerable ones. Knowing them changes how a child sees themselves and how a school teaches them.
And it changes what happens next. Difficulties that go unidentified do not stay contained. They turn into anxiety about school, refusal to attend, behaviour that gets treated as defiance, and years of falling further behind. Identifying what is happening early is what interrupts that.
Are your assessments NICE-guideline aligned?
Yes. Our assessments follow NICE guidance for evidence-based, best-practice evaluation, and are carried out by HCPC-registered practitioner psychologists with training and expertise in the conditions they assess.
