As Clinical Psychologists we offer psychological assessments, and we are trained in standardised assessment tools. We offer mental health based assessments to better understand what the difficulties are and how to formulate this. We assess what type of therapy is required to alleviate mental health struggles. We assess for neurodevelopmental differences (Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD). We provide cognitive assessments which helps to reveal strengths and weaknesses to understand and support learning barriers.

 

When assessing for neurodevelopmental differences we work in partnership with JM Mental Health. Our assessments follow best practice guidelines and are accepted by the local authority as compatible with assessments offered by universal services (CAMHS). Our assessments use standardised assessments (WISC-5 and ADOS-2) and a developmental history following the 3Di completed with parents. When comparing costs of assessments between different providers it is important to know what the assessment entails. We provide a detailed breakdown in our protocol and costs sheet (available on request).

 

We offer assessment and therapy with school aged children (5-18 yrs). However, we are trained to work across all ages so can take referrals outside of this age range if we feel able to meet your needs.

 

Some of the conditions and challenges we can support with include:

​

Anxiety

Attachment and Relationship difficulties

ADHD

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Depression

Learning barriers

OCD

Parenting support

School based anxiety and attendance issues

Trauma

 

Although we work within the independent sector, we are well networked to other professionals and have a long history of working within the NHS (and CAMH services). We hope this provides an experience for families of us being able to work holistically and in a joined-up way.
