Brimstone Psychology are a team of Educational Psychologists, Assistant Psychologists and Specialist Teachers who offer intervention, assessment, and support.

Our vision as a team is:

To work systemically: We apply psychology to understanding children and young people and the organisations that support them. We use a strength based, solution orientated and positive psychology approach to empower the system supporting a child or young person
To use a consultation model: We use consultation first to help those supporting young people to facilitate change
To be person-centred: We use a range of assessment methods tailored to suit individual need to deliver high quality, responsive and timely intervention, training, and support.
To be trauma responsive and resilience focused: Our team are responsible for the development and delivery of the Resilience Support Teaching Assistant (RESTA) and Resilience Support Organisation (RESO) programmes (www.restasupport.co.uk see for more information). Our interventions and training have a strong focus on supporting and promoting a holistic approach to children and young people’s wellbeing.

Support

Brimstone specialises in providing support that enables everyone in the child or young person’s (CYP) system to be reflective and responsive to need. We have created a programme of support for educational settings to enable CYP to develop educational resilience through our whole organisation training (RESO) quality mark and individual intervention (RESTA) training. If you are looking to train as either a RESO or RESTA please follow the link (www.restasupport.co.uk) to the RESTA support website. If you are looking for RESTA support for child, please click on our RESTA team member pages for more information and contact us to begin the intervention.

Our Services

Assessments

We work with schools, colleges and those supporting children and young people by using a consultation model. This means we use consultation to work collaboratively and consider views and perspectives to gain a better perspective of strengths and needs. Once we have a thorough picture, we can then decide next steps on the plan, do, review cycle. We work using a range of assessments methods.

Planning Meetings

At Brimstone we recognise that school SENCos value the role of the Educational Psychologist in planning meetings. We offer schools the opportunity to purchase planning meetings throughout the school year. In this way Head teachers and SENCos can support school staff to help them get the most from working with an Educational Psychologist with the added benefit being that time is used efficiently.
