Einat Yakir is one of our experienced educational psychologists here at Bridges Therapy Centre, specialising in supporting children, adolescents, parents, and young adults. With a strong background in educational systems, she offers therapy for a variety of challenges, including learning difficulties, ADHD, social and behavioural issues, anxiety, and special educational needs (SEN).

Einat also helps families and individuals navigate significant life changes, such as immigration, relocation, and family transitions including divorce. As a registered educational psychologist with the HCPC, she has extensive experience in helping children and young people overcome whatever challenges they may be facing.

Qualifications & Training


Einat originally studied at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, receiving a BA in Psychology and Linguistics. Following this, she completed an MA in Child Clinical Psychology at Tel Aviv University, before finally completing her Educational Psychology internship with the Psychological Service of Raanana Council.

Experience


Working within the Raanana Psychological Service, Einat gained valuable experience providing therapy to children and adolescents, conducting parent consultations, and leading group therapies. During this time, she also carried out both psychological and psycho-didactic assessments, and consulted schools, nurseries, and special education institutions.

There, she understood the importance of collaboration between schools, parents, and a child’s environment, and the essential part of clear communication for improving the child’s well-being. Additionally, Einat supervised psychology university students as they embarked on their first professional experiences in the field.

Specialisms


When working with children, Einat uses symbolic therapeutic approaches such as play therapy to connect and explore their inner world, according to their developmental and emotional level. Einat believes in the huge impact that the parent-child relationship has on a child’s development and well-being. For this reason, she continues to work closely with parents, offering consultations and therapy to foster a supportive environment that nurtures growth and resilience.
