Are there any educational pscycologists here??

I need to find an educational psychologist for my 10 yr old. Very long story but have spoken to SOS SEN who have advised this as I need to reapply for an ehcp and need this as evidence amongst other things. I'm currently trying to find someone but Iv noticed every one does things differently. I found MPA in Brighton and they charge just under £500 and it's all done in one trip. Consultation, then assess ds, I go back in room for consultation. Lasts 3-4 hours. No school visit. One other person who wants to charge over £1200 (!!) goes to visit him in school. I obviously see the pros and cons in both. I just wondered what am I looking for in a 'good' ed pys?! I'd rather they didn't go into his school to be honest but I wonder is that a problem in itself?

Any experience/advice I would be very greatful.

You might get more luck if you post under 'education' as seems to be more traffic there.

I'm not Ed Psych but had my DCs assessed for different SEN things not in school, and it was around 500 for each.
