Dr Xavier Eloquin
Xavier is an Educational Psychologist with nearly twenty years of experience, working for Local Authorities and in independent practice. Before qualifying as a psychologist, he taught in a number of mainstream and special schools, including a stint teaching English in sunny Greece. He chose educational psychology because of his experience of working with students who found learning, for any number of reasons, difficult, and one of his greatest joys is seeing the change in a child when they suddenly begin to understand something that for so long seemed impenetrable. He has worked with a wide range of schools and with children and adults of all ages.
He is a chartered psychologist, an associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, and a member of the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC). He did his Masters and Doctoral training at the Tavistock Clinic with his doctoral focus on head teacher stress. He is also a visiting lecturer there, lecturing trainee educational psychologists on group and organisational dynamics. After qualifying as an Educational Psychologist, he undertook a post-graduate training in Human Givens therapy. He has published several articles and also a book he co-edited – “Learning form the Unconscious: Psychoanalytic Educational Psychology”. He has also worked with teachers and psychologists in the UK and also in Qatar and India.
