About us
Caspari Foundation is an independent charity that helps children and young people overcome emotional, learning and behavioural difficulties. It has been the leading provider of educational psychotherapy in Hackney, Islington and surrounding boroughs since 2000.
Educational psychotherapy was developed by Irene Caspari, Principal Psychologist at the Tavistock Clinic, London.
We are based in Islington, London N1 and provide services to children, families and schools in Islington and surrounding boroughs, although we are actively seeking funds to enable us to help more people in areas throughout the UK and beyond.
We provide training for school staff and others who want to become educational psychotherapists or to learn more about therapeutic approaches to teaching in a growing number of areas throughout the UK.

Irene Caspari pioneered a technique, combining psychological insight with teaching, which addressed the emotional blocks that impair learning. The principles she developed inform the Foundation's work in promoting awareness of the emotional factors which underlie learning difficulties.
