About educational psychologists

Educational psychologists (EPs) are the professionals most parents encounter first when their child is struggling at school. They assess how children learn, identify barriers to progress, and recommend practical strategies that schools and families can put in place. Their reports carry significant weight in EHCP applications and tribunal appeals.

If your child is falling behind at school despite extra help, if you suspect a specific learning difficulty like dyslexia, or if you're preparing an EHCP application, an educational psychologist assessment is often essential. Many parents seek private EPs when their Local Authority has long waiting lists or when they need an independent second opinion for a tribunal.

SEND services in Liverpool

Liverpool City Council manages SEND services across the city through its Education and Skills directorate. The council has several specialist resource provisions based in mainstream schools, offering additional support without the need for a special school placement. Alder Hey Children's Hospital, one of the UK's leading paediatric centres, provides diagnostic and therapeutic services for children across Merseyside.

Typical costs

Private EP assessments generally range from £600 to £1,200 depending on the complexity and your location. London prices tend to sit at the higher end. Some EPs offer shorter consultations or classroom observations at lower rates. Local Authority EPs are free but often have lengthy waiting lists.
