Educational Psychologist – Supporting children and parents experiencing difficulties at school

Regaining confidence and the enjoyment of learning

I have been a primary school teacher for nearly 30 years, supporting many children… and many parents too!
Because when school becomes difficult for a child, it is not always easy to know how to help, or where to start.

Throughout my career, I have continued to develop my skills and obtained a Master’s degree in Educational Sciences, specialising in supporting children with their learning at school.

Today, I offer personalised support to children experiencing difficulties at school, as well as to their parents.

What does the support involve?

The aim is not simply to redo homework or provide more exercises. Quite the opposite!
We take the time to understand what is causing difficulties, while also identifying what is already working well. From there, we work together to find strategies, methods and tools suited to the child.

Depending on their needs, the support may help them to:

• better understand what is causing difficulties
• find a working method that suits them
• develop their independence and confidence
• put practical tools in place for use at school and at home
• help parents find the right way to support their child without homework becoming a source of tension
• liaise with teachers when useful

An educational approach, not a therapeutic one

I am not a therapist, and my support is not intended to replace the work of a psychologist, speech and language therapist or any other professional when this is necessary.
My role focuses on school, learning and what the child experiences in relation to their schooling.
I work alongside the child and their family with one priority: to restore or preserve their well-being in relation to school.

Sometimes, a few adjustments, new tools or simply a different way of approaching difficulties can already make a significant difference.

And above all…

My goal is for children to regain confidence in themselves, enjoy school again and rediscover the desire to learn.

Because a child who feels good at school has already come part of the way.

And finally, because parents also need support, I want to provide them with simple and practical guidance, so that they know how to help their child while finding a balance between educational and family values.
