Educational psychology-led

Understand the child first. Then decide what helps.

Growing Minds is a learning and development centre led by an educational psychologist, built on one belief: children get labelled early, everyone works on the behaviour, and nobody asks what's underneath it.

Who's in the room

Every child works with a consistent person, and that person's work is overseen at two levels above them. Nothing is left to one individual's judgement alone.

Every session

Interventionist

The person your child sees each time, delivering the plan.

Supervises

Lead Interventionist

Oversees delivery, quality and day-to-day progress.

Directs and oversees

Educational Psychologist

Assessment, planning, and the clinical direction of every programme.

What we believe

Understand first

We look at how your child learns before we decide what helps. A plan built on a guess is a plan that fails.

Strengths first

We start with what your child can already do. Skills are built on strengths, not on a list of what's wrong.

Learn by doing

Play-based, child-led and practical. Children learn it by doing it, with an adult beside them rather than in front of them.

Join our team

We are always glad to meet educators, therapists and support staff who care about how children learn and grow. If that sounds like you, we would like to hear from you.
