Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy

We offer a range of assessment and support options to help your child and you. Our specialists can work collaboratively as a team or stand-alone if only one of our services is needed.

Each option has been carefully created to help you see the scope of what we offer, which can guide you to decide what is right for your child and you. We will, of course, explain our roles in greater detail and talk you through any queries when you make contact with us.

Also available:

  • Children’s Occupational Therapy Developmental & Sensory Processing Assessments

  • Children’s Occupational Therapy Interventions

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Assessments

  • Autism Advocacy & Support

  • Parent & Family Support

Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy

We provide bespoke support for your child’s emotional and mental health needs. 

Please choose one of the following assessment options:

Package One Assessment

A full assessment of your child’s emotional and mental health needs. This will include taking an extended developmental history, creating a genogram and taking a history of presenting issues. The assessment will involve meeting with your child/you for up to two hours, then meeting with parents/carers (without the child present). Liaison with school/college staff will take place in advance of the assessment. The assessment will be followed by provision of a thorough written report with recommendations. 

Should you choose this package, a complimentary telephone call, up to three months post assessment will be included. 

Package One Abridged

The same assessment can be reduced in cost if a slightly shorter assessment is carried out and summary email of the findings is requested instead of a full report. 

In addition to our assessment options, we offer regular Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy.

Our specialist offers:

  • Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy

  • Mentalisation based treatment

  • Theraplay

  • Dyadic Developmental Practice (DDP) informed sessions
