Aoibheann Costello

I have been teaching in Primary Schools for the past eight years where I have gained experience teaching children with a wide range of needs and planned interventions to aid their learning. I possess a BSc in Applied Psychology and a PGCE. I have applied psychological theory into my teaching practice, worked on multi-disciplinary teams and have furthered my knowledge through CPD. I am now looking to further develop my psychological thinking and skills by training to become an Educational Psychologist. I am passionate about supporting CYP in education.  My experiences enable me to practice reflectively, and I have excellent organisational, time-management, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills. I am an enthusiastic, determined, and a passionate individual ready to pursue a life long career in Educational Psychology.
