Jacky Ridsdale BA DipEd MSc EP C.Psychol.

Jacky Ridsdale has more than 15 years' experience as an educational psychologist working with children, parents and schools in assessment, consultation and therapy.

She firmly believes that the positive mental health of children is of paramount importance to the individual child and to society as a whole.

In addition to her role as an educational psychologist with a local authority, Jacky works for a national charity supporting people with learning and development challenges such as dyslexia. She is a member of the British Psychological Society Verifiers group overseeing CCET, the Certificate of Competence in Educational Testing, a group dedicated to exemplary practice in psychometrics.

Motivated by a determination to find more effective ways of helping children and families change their lives for the better, Jacky incorporates the principles and practices of Re-Balance in all her work. She says: "Re-balance offers a whole new way to make a difference and can effect real change for the better within a manageable period of time."

Jacky's heavy workload means she contributes a fundamentally executive and consultative role within the Re-Balance team.
