Teenagers
As it approaches the time of year when most schools have exams it can be a stressful time for teenagers. We can offer advice on managing anxiety related specifically to exams or coping with workload and helping teenagers cope with high levels of stress. We are able to work with teenagers to help them develop effective strategies for studying, including memory strategies, organization skills, retention and retrieval of information.

Developmental Psychology Research
I have been interested to read recent research related to the media/electronic world and children. It has been shown that children under 2 years learn less from televised information than they do for live/interactive information. Developmentally it is difficult for young children to translate the visual images they see on the screen to life size equivalents.
