Child psychology is a branch of psychology concerned with the systematic study of the behavior, adjustment, and growth of individuals from birth through adolescence, as well as with the treatment of their behavioral, mental, and emotional disorders.
Our Clinical Psychologists working with children, young people and their families have specialist training to help young people and their families understand and manage a broad range of mental health difficulties.
Through a comprehensive assessment, spending time talking to you and your child, the psychologist will work to understand the problem, what might be contributing to the difficulties and think with you about the most appropriate package of support. This support may involve individual sessions with your child, sessions with the whole family, and/or working in collaboration with schools and other services in your child’s network.
In addition, our therapists can also provide school observations, home visits, or specialist cognitive assessments as part of a larger assessment process. Due to their specialist training, our Child Psychologists are able to draw on a range of therapeutic models such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy, whilst incorporating creativity in the therapeutic process.
