Professional, personalised assessments to understand individual strengths and difficulties, with practical recommendations for education, work and everyday life.
In person in Frome, Somerset, or remotely across the UK.
Whether you're looking for answers for yourself, your child or support at work, choose the option that best fits what you need.
If your child is finding aspects of reading, spelling, writing or learning difficult, an assessment can help you understand their individual strengths and difficulties, and explore whether dyslexia may be part of the picture.
Understand your learning profile, explore possible dyslexia and other SpLDs, and get practical recommendations for study, work and everyday life.
Practical workplace needs assessments to identify reasonable adjustments, assistive technology and strategies that can make work more manageable.
I’m a qualified Specialist Teacher and SpLD Assessor with a current Assessment Practising Certificate (APC). Alongside my private practice, I also carry out diagnostic assessments for the British Dyslexia Association and the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity.
I know that seeking an assessment can feel like a big step. My approach is warm, thorough and straightforward, with a focus on helping you understand strengths as well as areas of difficulty – and, most importantly, what can genuinely help.
I offer face-to-face assessments (for children) in Frome, Somerset, as well as remote assessments across the UK (both children & adults).
