Welcome to CMP

Welcome to Claire Minds Psychology, a private Educational Psychology Service for Multi Academy Trusts, schools, families and Local Authorities, created by Dr Claire Peters, Educational Psychologist.

I offer a friendly and collaborative service to families and education settings, which aims to build on the strengths of the young person to achieve their potential, using person-centred and evidence informed psychological practice. My approach is solution-oriented; exploring what individuals can do and what works, drawing on a wide range of psychological theories to inform my work.

My approach is very flexible with every piece of work beginning with an initial consultation to ensure that my involvement is appropriate and tailored to the needs of the young person, family and school.
