Clinical Psychology services for children and families
Psychological Assessment:
I provide a holistic assessment of your current needs and difficulties.
This includes possible neurodiversity, mental health and challenging behaviour.
I make recommendations for onward steps including full diagnostic assessments and therapeutic support.
I signpost to other services, some of whom I work in partnership with, who can provide full autism and ADHD assessments if necessary.
Post-diagnostic Psychoeducation:
I provide your child or young person with psychoeducation on Autism, ADHD, Learning Disabilities and other mental health difficulties including anxiety and depression.
This is tailored to the individual’s age, level of understanding and particular diagnoses
I also provide this to parents and other family members to support their understanding of diagnoses given to their loved one
Therapeutic intervention:
I provide tailored therapeutic support for mental health difficulties experienced by children and young people who are neurodiverse:
- Anxiety & low mood
- Emotion dysregulation
- Self harm and suicidal thoughts
- History of trauma and attachment difficulties
I provide support for behaviours and other difficulties associated with neurodiversity:
- Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)
- Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
- Selective mutism
- Challenging behaviour including physical aggression and property damage
- Difficulties with bedtime and sleep
Work is with the child/young person, parents and other family members depending on your needs.
