Independent Educational Psychology and Therapy in Norwich

Independent assessments for children and young people, and therapeutic support for the families around them from a child and educational psychologist and a psychotherapist working in one practice.

Parents usually come to us for one of two reasons. Either they need an independent assessment of their child's learning, development or emotional needs or often to understand what is happening. Sometimes it is to support an EHCP application or something in the family has become hard to hold and they want help with it.

We can do both. Dr Achilleas Dalamagkas carries out independent educational psychology assessments and works relationally with parents and children where a child is at the centre of the difficulty. James Ingram works with couples, with relationships, and with adults individually. Between us, a family doesn't have to start again with a stranger every time the need changes.

Dr Achilleas Dalamagkas

Child and Educational Psychologist, HCPC registered (PYL041680), Doctorate in Educational Psychology, UEA, 2022.

I am a Child and Educational Psychologist with many years of experience working across England and Greece in both private practice and local government settings. This diverse background has given me a comprehensive understanding of working with schools, families, and most importantly, children and their individual needs. My greatest passion lies in listening to children and ensuring their voices are truly heard, which brings me immense reward knowing they feel understood and valued.
I also work within the charity sector, supporting families and children affected by cancer and helping to connect them with other vital agencies and resources. This collaborative approach ensures that families receive the holistic support they need during challenging times.
When I'm not working, you'll find me enjoying some well-deserved downtime on my PlayStation, walking my dog, experimenting with new baking recipes, or teaching dance classes in my local gym. These activities help me maintain balance and bring fresh energy to the meaningful work I do with children and families.
James Ingram

Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, BACP registered member (407833), BSc (Hons) Integrative Counselling, Middlesex University, 2023)

I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor with extensive experience working in the charity sector, where I have dedicated many years to supporting individuals through bereavement and loss, cancer care, and facilitating therapy groups whilst managing services. I now work in private practice and have the genuine pleasure of delivering training to the NHS and other organisations, which I absolutely love doing. My professional journey has been deeply rewarding, allowing me to witness the remarkable resilience of the human spirit during life's most challenging moments.
When I'm not in the therapy room, you'll find me tending to my garden, enjoying BodyBalance, yoga and being at the Gym, cooking, or out walking with the dog. I also love to travel when I can, as exploring new places brings me great joy and helps me maintain a sense of wonder about the world. These activities ground me and remind me of the importance of nurturing both body and spirit alongside the meaningful work I do professionally.
