Supporting a child or young person with #SituationalMutism? I find the PACE attitude transformative in support CYP: 🧸 Playfulness eases pressure 🤗 Acceptance builds worth 🤔 Curiosity understands feelings ❤️ Empathy ensures they're not alone #Edpsychs #SEND #PACE

Exactly 1 month today ❓What - 2 hour Lego Based Therapy Webinar 🤷‍♂️ When - Thursday 23rd October 6pm-8pm 🦸‍♂️ Who - ME! 💻Where - Microsoft Teams 🕸️ How - via this link - www.paypal.com/instantcomme... #Edpsychs #LegoBasedTherapy #SEND #SENCO #Autism #Neurodevelopment

Seeing theory in action is powerful. Weaving MI into my work has been transformative. Shifting from expert to guide, from telling to evoking, is key! YP build their own plans. Empowering for them, and a vital reminder for us #MotivationalInterviewing #Edpsychs

Circle of Friends... It empowers pupils to build empathy & transform school culture for everyone involved. A structured process that fosters genuine, inclusive friendships. An approach I highly recommend. #CircleOfFriends #Inclusion #SEND #Edpsychs

Can you help @tepemma.bsky.social with her research below 👇👇👇 It would be much appreciated 💪 #Edpsychs

🚀 Beyond ACEs: Let's talk Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs)! PCEs are everyday moments of connection & safety that build resilience & buffer against adversity. They're the strengths-based approach we need 👇 #PCEs #Resilience #Edpsychs

Loved delivering LBT training at Dovecot Primary school this week! 😍 A room full of enthusiastic, brilliant staff embracing a powerful intervention for pupils. It’s why I love this job. Want this energy in your school? Let’s talk! 👇 #LegoBasedTherapy #Edpsychs #SEND #CPD #UKSchools

New UK study of 16k people ACEs like abuse, neglect & conflict have a profound lifelong impact Strongest links: poor mental health & severe pain at age 50. 4+ ACEs significantly increase risk Our work in schools is vital to build resilience & break the cycle #ACEs #Edpsychs

Annual leave is going well 🤣 Now times for the caves ⛑️ #Holiday #Llechwedd #Adrenaline #ZipWorld #Titan #EdpsychInWales

The power of "yet" is transformative😍 As an educational psychologist, I see how a #GrowthMindset helps students shift from “I can’t do this” to “I can’t do this YET”. It builds resilience, reduces anxiety, and unlocks potential. #Edpsychs #UKEducation

I truly believe every UK classroom should experience #WOWW. It’s an incredibly positive intervention to use and has such a positive and lasting impact on both the children, young people and staff. #Edpsychs #SEND #EducationalPsychology

I’ll be honest… I LOVE LEGO®-Based Therapy! It’s not just an intervention, it’s a game-changer for: ✅ Social communication ✅ Friendships ✅ Emotional regulation ✅ Confidence & creativity EVERY child benefits, not just neurodiverse kids! #Edpsychs #LegoTherapy #SEND

Removing breaks as ‘punishment’ harms kids, especially neurodivergent students who rely on them to regulate & recharge It’s counterproductive & discriminatory in my opinion I support MrG's campaign to protect break times below 👇 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73... #Edpsychs #SEND

"You look like your cartoon!" 😄 One of the best parts of my #EdPsych work with CYP! ✅ Reduces anxiety ✅ Builds rapport ✅ Engage families/SENCos Try it! A small, person-centred touch makes a big difference. View it here - www.powtoon.com/s/bvYHoylySb... #ChildCentredPractice #SEND #Edpsychs

Theory of Mind is essential for empathy, friendships and the development of social skills 👌 #Edpsychs #TheoryOfMind #SEND

Amen to this 🙏 Glad to see you @epreachout.bsky.social 👋 Be sure to give them a follow if you love all things Educational Psychology! #Edpsychs #SEND #Webinars #Hi

Some new reading and toys to get through and use 👌 #TwitterEPS #PersonCentred #StoryCubes #Jenga

I spent a rare 6 hours in a Special Resource Base today! Chess strategists, ‘super fast’ races, desk-drawn maths, car experts & storytime joy. Reminded me why I love EP work: the magic happens when we work alongside children & apply psychology🎉 #Edpsychs #SEND #EPLife

Can you help Hannah with the below? #Edpsychs #SocialJustice

When SENCos/schools/parents reach out to @klidoscpeeps.bsky.social, it’s about: 🔹 Shared values 🔹 Strengths-based change 🔹 Putting kids & staff FIRST Rooted in inclusion, growth & social responsibility, always. Let’s collaborate! 🤝 www.klidoscpe.com #SEND #EdPsych #ChildCentred

Booked my place 👏 Looking forward to #epfest2025 with @edpsy.bsky.social following the last one! Make sure you get signed up 😍 #Edpsychs #EducationalPsychology

Although X has absolutely died. One thing I'm super grateful for is the relationships from #TwitterEPS I met virtually with @davidpep.bsky.social today to discuss all things EP & we genuinely just had a decent chat & got to know each other. It's what it's all about. #Relationships #EPLife

Today reminded me why I love being an EP. 💙 Met 11yo *John* from Fermanagh to discuss his Y6 project on Lego-Based Therapy. We: • Explored how Lego helps neurodiverse kids like him • Debated footy teams 🏆 • Chatted farm life 🚜 • Even mapped his future EP career path! #WhyEP #TinyButMightyMoments

Well Florence, Tuscany and Pisa was an absolute dream 😍🇮🇹 Plenty of pizza 🍕, pasta 🍝 , walking 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ and driving 🚗 My cultural cup is full and it's back to work 💻 #Italy #EPTravel #Pisa #Tuscany #Florence

Great day exploring Southend with my beautiful wife before we fly out to Italy tomorrow ✈️☀️ Thanks for the recommendations @epssouthend.bsky.social, I didn't get a chance to visit the offices but what a beautiful experience we had 😘 We shall be back ♥️ #Southend #EPTravel #ThankYou

3 lots of lovely feedback from schools & families this week, & a request to keep supporting a young person after my work with @klidoscpeeps.bsky.social . Never felt more grateful to be an EP. These are the moments that make it all worthwhile. 🌟 #EdPsych #RelationshipsMatter #Smallwins

I'm hoping to visit Southend on Sea on Friday for some exploring. @epssouthend.bsky.social any suggestions on where to visit, add to my itinerary? #Edpsychs open to any suggestions from those who have visited or live nearby 👀

So yesterday I married my best friend of 15 years and what a day/night it was 💍 A day filled with love and emotions & an evening filled with fun and laughter 🕺💃 Thank you to all our friends & family... it was an unbelievable experience, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves ♥️

Personally, I'm not a fan of 'pen licences' in schools. As an EP, I've observed first-hand the negative impact they can have on children's SEMH, especially for neurodivergent learners who often relentlessly try to obtain one #Edpsychs #Edusky #PenLicences #SEND #Neurodiversity

Nothing lights me up more than using psychology in creative ways and sharing it with others! 💡✨ Excited for tomorrow’s session: a chance to deepen connection with a YP, gently reframe unhelpful thoughts, and empower them to see their future with hope. 🌱 #EdPsych #EduSky #PersonCentred #Hope

Loved delivering an ELSA AI Supervision to an SRB team today! Even those new to AI could see its potential. Words like ‘Eye-Opener,’ ‘Inspired,’ and ‘Excited’ as our Closing Round of Words. Also, some healthy ‘Conflicted’ thoughts & discussions💡🤖 #EdPsych #EduSky #AI #ELSA

It's a Circle of Adults kind of day ☀️ Looking forward to some graphic facilitation today #CircleofAdults #PersonCentred #Edpsychs #Edusky

#Edpsychs I'm looking for any support, strategies, provisions, or information around perfectionism, significant levels of anxiety and possible underlying neurodevelopmental needs. I'm looking to support a YP really struggling atm. #PleaseHelp

Yesterday I met the man (child football coach) who made such a positive impact on my life We caught up & I told him how much he had positivley influenced my life trajectory. I could tell that it meant the absolute world to him & it did to me too❤️ #EveryChildDeservesAChampion

So today I was introduced to seeing.ai A new AI technology for visually impaired people from Microsoft but something I think may have so many benefits for YP in education too. Download it for free and give it a go... it's actually great 🤯 #Edpsychs #AI #Edusky

So this happened today. A very sweet child decided that they enjoyed my company so much this morning that they made me a drawing to go home with ♥️ How cute 😁 the positives of being an EP hey! Can you tell what the image is 👀 #Edpsychs #Edusky #Grateful

Too right 👌 Makes my blood boil when I hear this being implemented 🤐 especially when it's happening to SEN or neurodiverse children in which breaktimes are often a necessity to aid self-regulation. #Edpsychs #Edusky #Play
