Welcome to Sapling Psychology
Educational Psychology support for children, young people & schools
About Sapling Psychology
At Sapling Psychology, we provide educational psychology support for children and young people from birth to 25 years. We work closely with families and schools to support learning, communication and wellbeing.
The service is led by Dr Lisa Watkins, a HCPC-registered Educational Psychologist with a background in teaching and speech and language therapy.
This combination brings a deep understanding of how children learn, communicate and experience the world around them.

Our Approach to Educational Psychology
Our work is grounded in a strengths-based and collaborative approach. We take time to understand each child or young person as an individual, considering their experiences, strengths and areas of need.
Strengths-Based
We focus on what children can do and build on existing strengths with a positive methodology.
Child-Centered
The child's voice is paramount. Their views are genuinely reflected in recommendations.
Communication-Aware
We understand how communication influences learning, behaviour and emotional wellbeing.
