What my clients say

Siobhan has been to our school several times in the past few years in her capacity as an Educational Psychologist. Arranging a meeting has always been a timely and smooth process.

Siobhan collects her information from the written referral form (including parent voice), observation and discussion with relevant colleagues in school. She is extremely easy to work with and her professional judgements are insightful and supportive.

Following her consultations, school have been empowered to put her advice and strategies into action quicky and on many occasions we have gone on to use this as part of our evidence for funding and EHCN applications. It is without question that I fully recommend her – with the disclaimer that I don’t want her to become too busy!

Siobhan always responds promptly and is able to work with us within the timescale suggested. She observes and works with pupils which enables her to get a clear and accurate picture of the child, their strengths and needs. She will also meet parents as well as part of her consultancy process. The reports she produces are detailed and relevant and always included strategies/actions for school to support pupil’s moving forwards.

Siobhan has been a wonderful addition to our EP service. Her reports are always accurate and on time, giving a comprehensive picture of the child which leads to individualised provision and plans. Her psychological practice is child-led and positively framed, resulting in positive experiences for our parents.

I recently used Cheshire Education and Child Psychology services for a cognitive assessment for my son, aged 11 years, who was struggling with his reading and writing at school. Siobhan was highly professional and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each step of the process in detail. Siobhan was warm and friendly, and made my son feel comfortable when completing the various tasks. She managed to get the best out of him and keep him engaged during the lengthy process. Siobhan also spent time with us as parents, listening to our concerns.

The assessment was thorough and insightful, and helped us as a family to understand not only our son’s challenges but also his cognitive strengths. This has allowed school to adapt teaching methods, resulting in a more effective and enjoyable learning experience for our child. Siobhan produced a detailed and comprehensive report, which included a diagnosis of Dyslexia, in addition to recommendations for teaching strategies, interventions and adaptations to his learning environment that would benefit our son at school.

The report produced by Siobhan was vital in securing an Educational Health Care Plan for our son, but more importantly, we now feel confident in supporting him during his academic journey; better equipped to advocate for his needs, and ensure that he receives the support he rightfully deserves.

I’m incredibly grateful for the comprehensive and compassionate approach taken throughout the assessment. It has truly made a difference in our ability to help him succeed. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for clarity and actionable insights into their own/a child’s cognitive abilities. Thank you for your exceptional service and support.

We required an addendum EP report for our EHCP appeal after our first EP was unable to help and referred us to Siobhan.

Despite a looming directions date to file further evidence, Siobhan was incredibly proactive, helpful, and friendly. Her approach and professionalism were exemplary, and she carried out her assessments and delivered a comprehensive report well before our court deadline. The council overturned their decision not to issue an EHCP, based on the content of Siobhan’s report.

A massive thank you again for all of your help. We would thoroughly recommend Siobhan to anyone needing an Educational Psychologist. 

Thank you for the report. It has been a pleasure working with you. The report you have written is thorough, detailed and very pupil-focused. It will really help ease her passage into her next setting. All communications were clear and time-effective, and you were able to work with us according to the needs of our school, which was very much appreciated.

Siobhan was recommended to our family after I was looking for an educational psychology assessment for my son.

From the initial contact and first phone call she was able to answer some of my questions and also put my mind at ease. She went to assess my son at school over the course of two days and my son described her as ‘a nice lady’. She was able to complete a large number of assessments and had the report back to me in a week!

The report was fantastic and really looked at my son in a holistic/whole person approach which I really liked. She highlighted his strengths but also detailed at length the correct support he requires at school going forward. This enabled me to feel equipped to go to my sons next SEN meeting at school with lots of useful information and interventions they could put into place for him.

The assessment from Siobhan has been invaluable and will make a lasting impact on my son’s educational journey. Thank you so much Siobhan. 

We were recommend Siobhan 5 weeks ago and in that time, not only have our paths crossed for the better, Siobhan’s service has also been 5 star. She’s been a listening ear, a huge support, and provided the most thorough and logically-written report I’ve ever received in the whole journey of bringing up a SEN child.

I can’t thank her (and my friend who recommended her), enough as finally things are slotting into place. 

We can’t thank you enough for all of the support, dedication, and kindness you’ve shown both boys. You’ve been a constant source of positivity throughout what has often been a bumpy journey with LA processes.

It’s so clear how hard you work for the children, always striving to ensure their needs are fully recognised and that they receive the very best.

I cannot rate Cheshire Educational & Child Psychology Service highly enough.

From the very start of the process, Dr O’Hagan devoted so much time to hearing our concerns and gathering information prior to the EP assessment for our child. She was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient at every step of the process. The report she wrote was extremely detailed and contained so much useful and practical information for school settings.

It has empowered us to understand what our child needs and it will be key to helping us ensure that he gets the provision he needs. We couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you so much.

I recently received an Educational Psychology review report completed by Siobhan, and I was extremely impressed with the service she provided.

The whole process was handled efficiently and professionally from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout, and the report was completed exactly on time.

The report itself was thorough, clear, and incredibly helpful, demonstrating great attention to detail and a strong understanding of the issues involved. I particularly appreciated how responsive and organised Siobhan was, making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward.

I would highly recommend Siobhan’s services to anyone requiring an Educational Psychology assessment or review report. Her professionalism, efficiency, and prompt turnaround time are outstanding.
