Meet the team


The Educational Psychology Service is organised around Devon’s three localities – Exeter and East, North and Mid, and South and West.

Our teams include people at different stages in their careers, who are led by two Senior Educational Psychologists in each locality area.

Our leadership team are all available to help with queries you may have about how we work, or how to access Educational Psychology support.
