About Seedling Psychology

Hello!

My name is Louisa and I am the founder of Seedling Psychology.

I am an Educational and Child Psychologist who is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I completed my doctoral training in Educational and Child Psychology at University College London (UCL). While studying at UCL, I completed my thesis research on Mindfulness in schools, exploring the impact on and factors affecting pupil and staff wellbeing. Through my work as an Educational and Child Psychologist, in both local authority and independent practice, I have further developed my specialism and interest in promoting well-being in schools and communities. I value the importance of working in partnership with and empowering key adults who work with and care for children and young people and supporting their capacity through evidence based approaches.

In the context of this, I have completed further training and qualifications in supervision for staff working in schools and community contexts at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust and am a registered supervisor with the British Psychological Society. I have also completed training in Video Interactive Guidance (VIG) with the Association for VIG UK and am an accredited VIG practitioner, as well as further training in Mindfulness with the Oxford Mindfulness Centre and the Mindfulness in Schools Project. I am also currently completing further enhanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for children and adolescents at Oxford University.

I started Seedling Psychology because I am passionate about promoting positive growth and development for children and young people and using psychology to facilitate this. If you would like to know more about Seedling Psychology or myself, please get in touch.
