We can offer specialist assessments including autism assessments, assessments for AD/HD, and cognitive assessments.

Ensuring high standards
Every Child Psychologist in our team is Registered as Practitioner Psychologist (Clinical Psychologist) with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). The HCPC are the regulatory body for Psychologists in the UK. They protect the public by checking that Psychologists are properly qualified and that they adhere to strict codes of ethics and conduct, in addition to meeting requirements for ongoing training.
Our Child Psychologists are all checked and cleared with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS); registered with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) and are GDPR compliant.
Health Insurance Providers
Our Child Psychologists are registered providers with the major health insurance companies. So long as the appointments are authorised in advance by your Provider, we can recover the costs directly. If you cannot see yours listed, do get in touch with us as we may still be able to help. We also accept referrals from families who are self-funding the sessions.
It is really helpful. [My Psychologist] is really kind and everybody here is very friendly. It is not scary at all. It helped me overcome so many different fears that were stopping me from doing things I wanted to do.
