If I could do one thing differently, I would grow the team sooner.

Not bigger for the sake of it.

Better, earlier.

Because the right team changes everything.

It improves the quality of the work.

It makes the service more responsive.

It helps you support children and families more effectively.

And it makes the work far more enjoyable.

The mistake is thinking growth means saying yes to everyone.

It doesn’t.

Growth is about being selective.

You need people who align with your values.

People who care about the mission.

People who take action.

People who strengthen the standard, not dilute it.
↓
What I learned about building the right team:

1. Hire for values first
↳ Skills matter, but shared values shape how people make decisions when things are busy, complex, or unclear.

2. Move earlier when you find the right people
↳ Waiting too long can slow the business down unnecessarily.

3. Do not confuse availability with fit
↳ Just because someone can join does not mean they are the right addition.

4. Protect the quality of the team
↳ A strong team improves the experience for everyone, including the families you serve.

5. Have honest conversations sooner
↳ If something does not feel right at the beginning, address it early.

6. Build with intention
↳ Team growth should support the mission, not distract from it.

7. Recognise that the right team increases sustainability
↳ When you enjoy who you work with and trust how they work, you can build for the long term.

I feel very fortunate to have found a fantastic team.

They have made the work better.

They have made the outcomes better.

And they have made it possible to serve children and families with greater care, speed, and consistency.

If you could do one thing different, what would it be?

I started my company because I wanted more autonomy over my work.

I was exhausted and heading towards burnout.

I was frustrated by bureaucratic processes and hours spent writing reports rather than serving families.

It meant being overworked and not using my time effectively.

I wanted to change that and develop better and more efficient systems of work for me and other Educational Psychologists - so I built Loom Psychology.

This is how I did it:

1. Started as a side hustle. I took on independent work alongside my main role, testing the waters and gaining experience.
2. Realised scaling requires a team. Success isn’t a solo journey, so I started by building my assistant team.
3. Trial and error in hiring. After a couple of attempts, I found and now work with three incredible Virtual Assistants who keep everything running smoothly.
4. Developed efficient systems. Began subcontracting with my assistants and IT support to build strong workflows and processes.
5. Invested in marketing. Understood that being great isn’t enough if no one knows about you, so I started subcontracting for marketing support.
6. Hit a capacity ceiling. Realised there’s only one of me, which meant growth was limited unless I expanded further.
7. Built an associate Educational Psychology team. Listened to independent Educational Psychologists who crave variety in their work and created opportunities for them.
8. Expanded into a product ecosystem that includes:
- Parent and school consultations
- Training and supervision
- Psychological assessments

The journey has been all about learning, adapting, and building.

I’m excited for what’s next!

Parents usually know when something does not feel right with their child.

That feeling matters.

You do not need to wait until you can explain it perfectly.

This is where many concerns begin👇

1. Trust what you are noticing

Parents spend the most time with their child.

They notice the small things:
how their child communicates,
how they play,
how they respond,

Sometimes there is no clear explanation at first.

It is simply a sense that something is different, delayed, or more difficult than it should be.

That is important information.

2. Developmental differences often show up in everyday things

For many families, the first signs relate to areas such as:

- communication
- walking
- talking
- social interaction
- emotional regulation
- play
- learning

Parents often compare what they are seeing with other children.

And while every child develops differently, concerns should not be dismissed just because children develop at different rates.

If something continues to feel off, it is worth exploring.

3. You do not need to name the problem to raise the concern

Your job is not to diagnose.
Your job is to notice, ask, and speak up.

A health professional can help.
A school can help.
Other professionals involved with your child can help.

Their role should be to work with you, not apart from you.

Support works better when parents are not left to manage concerns alone.

Schools should be part of that conversation throughout a child’s education.

When parents share concerns early, professionals can help:

- clarify what is being noticed
- identify patterns
- put the right language around the concern
- decide what support may be needed next

That process matters.

Over 20,000 children are waiting for a statutory assessment in the UK.

Read that again.

There is a mental health crisis (not just here, globally).

Families are crying out for support.

We have seen a huge rise in the need for psychological assessment and support.

And yet the system is underfunded, and professionals are at burnout level.

- Dyslexia assessments are complex and can lack consistency, leading to misdiagnosis and delays in support.

- SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) identification is a postcode lottery. Children in academies, those with language barriers, or those frequently absent are far less likely to be identified and supported.

- The system is underfunded, and professionals are burning out. Educational psychologists and school staff are stretched thin, with caseloads too high to manage effectively.

The demand is rising, but resources aren’t keeping up.

The professionals holding the system together are at breaking point.

And most importantly, thousands of children are being left behind.

How do we fix this?

Being a psychologist means developing an invisible eye.

One that spots what others simply cannot see.

Not because other people don't care.

Not because parents aren't paying attention.

But because training sharpens your lens in ways that change everything you observe.

I want to share a case that has stayed with me.

A young autistic person, managing in a mainstream school, incredibly anxious beneath the surface.

During our consultation, he was articulate, sharp, and genuinely impressive. His vocabulary was advanced.

His reasoning was clear. His confidence filled the room.

Then we stepped outside.

And everything changed.

He reverted. Physically holding onto his dad in the hallway. His whole presentation shifted in seconds, almost like watching a different child entirely.

That moment was everything.

Here is what it taught me about how young people actually learn:

🧠 1. Context mediates everything

🧠 2. Intelligence does not equal safety

🧠 3. Anxiety hides behind competence

🧠 4. Environment shapes processing

🧠 5. Safety is not a soft concept

🧠 6. Parents see behaviour. Psychologists see context.

🧠 7. The transition moments reveal the truth

Young people do not thrive because we push harder.

They thrive because they feel safe.

Safe to make mistakes.
Safe to not know the answer.
Safe to just be a kid in a world that often asks too much of them.

That hallway moment reminded me why this work matters.

If you work with young people, look beyond the session. The real story is often right outside the door.

I don’t romanticise my early years in the country I was born in.

The education I received was harsh, I was punished physically and silenced.

School was not a happy place until I came to the UK.

Here, I learned how to study, and that I mattered.

→ I sometimes wonder how different things would have been had I not received the gentle kindness and psychological safety that I did in the UK.

It underlines the importance & influence that the education system has for kids.

They spend most of their life at school.

I have utmost respect for teachers and the work they do everyday with kids.

And I'm privileged to be able to support them by assessing and supporting their students and families.

What was your early schooling experience like?
