Dr Alicja Jedrzejewska, HCPC registered Educational and Child Psychologist

I am an educational and child psychologist in private practice working with schools in Kent, South East London and online.

Working to support children and young people aged 0 to 25 years, I provide consultation, assessment, therapy, intervention, and training. My focus is on helping those with additional needs thrive and reach their individual potential by overcoming barriers to learning and wellbeing, with a particular specialisation in neurodiverse children and families.

Offering a child-centred approach, I aim to see the world through each child’s eyes, promoting a compassionate, non-judgemental, and empathetic view of any difficulties they may face.

How I can help…

My virtual consultations offer personalised solutions tailored to your child's unique needs, empowering you with evidence-based strategies to help them thrive. Whether you're seeking advice on academic challenges, behavioural issues, or emotional wellbeing.

I offer a range of therapeutic interventions and intervention plans depending on your child’s unique needs, including educational, social and emotional needs. For example: Video Interaction Guidance (emotional), SCERTS intervention (autism), Sleep Intervention, and Learning Intervention Programmes.

What others have said…

“My child was really struggling, refusing to go to school, and generally just was very withdrawn. Alicja really helped me to understand why this was happening, and also gave me a plan of action that we could use at home and in school, to help her. I would highly recommend her”

“Alicja has been working with our school for six months now and she has been instrumental in our assess, plan, do review approach to supporting SEND. Assessments undertaken are purposeful and truly capture the child, their successes and the next steps of support they need. Alicja communicates confidently with school, parents and any other agencies needed and her work ensures a joined up approach for all. I would recommend her service to anyone.”
