Testimonials
Parents often seek advice as to which of the Educational Psychology services to use in Dubai. I have no hesitation in recommending Insights Psychology, as providers of a comprehensive and excellent value for money service. The team are professional, thorough and they take the time to build rapport with the child. They always ensure they look at the whole child, ensuring the views of the child and all the adults that work with them, are fully taken in to account and represented. Their written reports are accessible, easily understood and pertinent; the recommendations made are personalised, impactful, but most importantly in a busy classroom...achievable and sustainable! Their psychologists are always willing to feedback their findings in person to all parties, to ensure that recommendations are understood and implemented.

With the strong warm support from the professionals at Insight Psychology, our son found a peace of mind, discovered meaning out of his experiences, and regained his confidence to stand up for himself. Now he is moving forward for his determined future with the passion and motivation that his counsellors fueled in him. Having witnessed our son grow out of his difficulty, we as parents also have been inspired and learned how we could become better version of ourselves. It was simply an honor for having known such dedicated clear-minded professionals.

Regarding: Educational Psychology Assessment and Counselling Services at Insights
Having worked with other centers in the UAE, Insights Psychology was a breath of fresh air. It felt very personalized and responsive. The process and formats were easy to understand and most importantly my child had a positive experience, which is not always possible in an assessment type situation. I was fortunate enough to have worked with Gráinne and would have no hesitation in recommending Insights services. There was no up-sale to buy other tests and Gráinne worked with the school and me (as the parent) to ensure appropriate continued support after diagnosis that were adaptive to my child’s needs and onward journey.

Regarding: Insights Assessment Services
The dedicated and professional services that Insight Psychology provide our school are second to none. They are all highly skilled and professional in their roles supporting us as a school, but more importantly supporting the children and their parents on what can often be a challenging journey. Gráinne and her team are truly wonderful at focusing on the individual child’s potential rather than their challenges and work to support all involved in unlocking that potential.

I have two daughters who have been with Cynthia during quarantine time. My older daughter has been diagnosed with Dyslexia and Dyscalculia and possible anxiety and depression. We, however, have been feeling truly supported by Cynthia’s love, care, and dedication and would like to thank you for her presence and hard work. We were suggested not to wait until reopening of the school and are glad that we did not wait. Now she will have two months of summer holidays to get ready for the next academic year with full support from Cynthia.

Regarding: Counselling and Educational Psychology Services
We have completed our psychological education assessment for our son with Cynthia this week. I’d like to say what a positive experience it has been, from the very first phone call. Cynthia was very supportive as to begin with it’s hard to know if your child really does have a problem, so talking to Cynthia who reassured us that the problems we were facing did in actual fact need exploring. It’s certainly helped us understand our child more, and given us and the school a plan moving forward with how to support him with dyslexia and dyscalculia. Our son loved the assessments with Cynthia and really looked forward to visiting her. We feel very lucky we managed to find her and also that all the tests and results were completed in such a quick time frame.
