Services
Psychological Assessment
We conduct comprehensive psychological assessments to understand emotional, behavioural, and neurodevelopmental challenges in children and young people. Our evaluations inform tailored therapeutic plans, ensuring interventions align with individual needs. This service supports families and professionals in accessing appropriate care.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Our CBT sessions help children and teenagers manage anxiety, low mood, and obsessive-compulsive behaviours through structured, goal-oriented techniques. We adapt CBT to suit developmental stages, empowering clients to develop coping strategies and improve emotional well-being.
Family Therapy
Family therapy sessions focus on improving communication and resolving conflicts within family systems. We work collaboratively with parents, carers, and children to address relational dynamics, fostering supportive environments for emotional growth and recovery.
Trauma Therapy
Specialised trauma therapy addresses the impact of traumatic experiences on children and young people. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and trauma-focused CBT, we help clients process distressing events and rebuild emotional resilience.
Parenting Work
Parenting work involves guiding families to understand and support their child's psychological needs. We provide strategies for managing challenging behaviours, enhancing attachment, and creating stable home environments conducive to recovery.
