Dr Wendorff’s expertise in education and neurocognition
Before becoming a Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Wendorff spent three years as a teacher. After completing her training, she continued working in the educational setting as a Psychologist where she combined her expertise in psychology and education to lead a department focused on special education and mental health. Over 12 years, Dr. Wendorff worked in schools, managing the awareness and pastoral care departments, working with children and families (ages 3 to 18), conducting neuropsychological and learning disability assessments, offering counselling and family therapy, and advocating for children’s needs daily.
She also implemented preventative enrichment sessions for students and facilitated training workshops for teachers and caregivers to make schools more inclusive for children of all abilities. Dr. Wendorff continues her involvement in education today in her voluntary role as co-Chair Governor at her local primary school.
What Do We Offer?
As children and young adults navigate significant transitions, such as puberty, moving to secondary school, or starting university, they often face a range of challenges. These include rising anxiety, eating disorders, self-harming, stress, and other difficult issues. Our experienced practitioners are well-equipped to manage these challenges, as patient care is our top priority. We feel it is our moral duty to advocate for these individuals and provide the necessary support.
We also understand that teaching staff and caregivers may have questions about how to best support students with learning difficulties, mental health concerns, or behavioral issues. To address this, our services include comprehensive neuropsychological assessments, which come with detailed reports on diagnoses and tailored treatment plans. Additionally, relevant staff and caregivers will have access to psychoeducation training to better support individuals with special needs. Our practice ensures that both school and home environments are supported, safeguarding the well-being of each individual.
Our expertise mainly lies in managing challenging behaviours and supporting individuals with developmental disorders, including ASD and ADHD.
