Our specialist CAMHS psychologists and psychological therapists are experienced in working with children and young people aged 0-18 years when things are not going well – helping them get back on the right track.

If you have a difficulty not listed above, please contact us we may be able to help or can point you in the right direction.
We work with parents, helping you understand your child’s difficulties. We will provide a psychological formulation explaining how your child has developed their difficulties and how they are being maintained. Having worked in children services for many years, we are able to balance the young persons desire for confidentially with parents desire for help and guidance on how to support their child. Where possible, we encourage young people to work with their parents.
We are happy to liaise with school and offer consultation.
