Schools, Nurseries & Alternative Provision
Hall & Co Educational Psychology Services provides flexible educational psychology support for schools, nurseries and alternative provision, including short-term, long-term and ad hoc packages tailored to each setting’s individual needs.
Smaller primary schools and nurseries may choose to purchase individual educational psychology assessments, consultations or training as needs arise. Larger schools and academies may prefer a set number of educational psychology visits across the academic year, typically ranging from six to thirty sessions. Packages can include the professional time required for assessment, consultation, feedback and written reports, allowing settings to plan their educational psychology provision around their priorities and available resources.
Time can be used flexibly for statutory and non-statutory educational psychology assessments, including assessments contributing to Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and annual reviews, as well as consultation, staff training, INSET days, twilight training, interventions, or training staff to deliver targeted interventions. Support can also include staff and parent consultation through solution-focused consultation, coffee mornings and informal drop-in surgeries, alongside wider systemic work such as reviewing practice, developing policy and supporting whole-setting change.
Educational Organisations, Events & Keynote Speaking
Dr Sasha Hall provides keynote speaking, presentations and large-group training for educational organisations, Local Authorities, Virtual Schools, private schools, conferences and professional events. Her talks draw on her experience as a Senior Educational Psychologist and focus on the relationship between psychology, education, parenting and children’s development.
Topics can include relational and trauma-informed practice, attachment theory and its relevance across childhood, why punitive approaches can be ineffective, children’s behaviour and emotional regulation, the impact of parenting and relationships on development, and creating psychologically informed approaches within education. Sessions can be tailored for particular professional audiences, settings or organisational priorities.
Supervision & Mentoring for Educational Psychologists
Dr Sasha Hall provides supervision and mentoring for prospective and qualified Educational Psychologists. This can include support for individuals preparing to apply for Educational Psychology training, as well as professional supervision for qualified Educational Psychologists.
Supervision can also focus on professional practice, report writing and quality assurance, including the quality assurance of Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) needs assessments. Dr Hall works part-time in a senior Local Authority Educational Psychology role and is closely involved in quality assurance processes relating to EHCP needs assessments, bringing current Local Authority experience alongside her private practice.
Business & Psychological Consultancy
Dr Sasha Hall provides psychological consultancy to organisations seeking to strengthen the quality, safety and psychological understanding of their work with children and young people. This can include reviewing existing practice, developing quality assurance processes and advising on products, systems or software designed to support educational settings, including tools intended to quality assure Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).
As a Lead Visitor for the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), Dr Hall also has experience of quality assuring educational programmes against professional standards. She can provide consultancy to organisations developing services, training or products involving psychology, education or children’s services.
