Dr Marie House, Educational Psychologist

I began my career in education as a secondary school teacher before training as an Educational Psychologist over twenty years ago. I’ve spent the majority of my working for Nottinghamshire County Council, where I have had the opportunity to contribute to a wide range of development project. For the last eight years I have been seconded to work a day a week, with a large East Midlands primary multi-academy trust. In addition, I am a tutor on the Doctorate in Applied Educational Psychology professional training programme at the University of Nottingham; supervising research which provides a unique contribute to the fields of education and educational psychology.

My professional interests are wide ranging but a constant throughout my career has been my commitment to promoting and facilitating inclusion, with a focus on the understanding of how children and young people learn, particularly the importance of memory, the role of speech and language and emotional well-being in engagement and supporting learning.
