Description
Psychology Direct is listed for educational psychology support in Edinburgh and the wider Edinburgh and the Lothians area. The listing is focused on children and young people who may need clearer understanding of learning, literacy, attention, autism, ADHD, anxiety, SEMH or wider barriers to school participation.
For Edinburgh, the local context matters: Scottish ASN planning and staged intervention. Edinburgh families often need assessment that can be shared with schools using Scottish ASN terminology and local support planning.
Families and schools should confirm current availability, fees, assessment format, whether the psychologist is HCPC registered, and whether the report is suitable for school planning, SEND/ASN/ALN/SEN processes or tribunal-style evidence.
