Start by completing my brief form about your child’s issues or any concerns you may have. I’ll get in touch for us to discuss how I can help. Some examples of the types of issues that I can help with include:
- Parenting of younger children – supporting sleep, feeding, toilet training and behavioural difficulties.
- Anxiety
- Phobias
- Self esteem/confidence building
- Low mood
- Psychological impact of medical conditions, bereavement/loss
Following the initial contact, we will set up an online assessment session at a convenient time. I will take a history of the presenting issues and we’ll start to work through the tools and techniques that can help you to address these. We’ll follow that first call with subsequent sessions and top-ups as required. Many low level issues can be addressed in a small to moderate number of sessions.
Sessions one hour in duration and will be online using Zoom video calls.
Please note. I am an independent clinical psychologist. If your child has severe presenting difficulties that would require team engagement, then it would likely be more appropriate for you to ask your GP abut advice for a referral to the child and adolescent mental health team for longer term support.
