Psychological Therapy

Part of The Ashwood Practice Child and Family Services

Psychological therapy for children and adolescents is often useful where young people are feeling worried, unhappy, having unhelpful thoughts or behaving in a way that causes them harm.

Often the behaviour of young people can cause a great deal of concern for those around them. Sometimes children and young people need some support to help with adjusting to changes in their lives, like divorce or separation or serious ill health.

We have child friendly rooms equipped with toys and games. We use approaches appropriate to the young person's developmental level to help children and young people build on strengths and so devise strategies and skills for coping at home and at school.

According to individual need and the age of the child or young person, we like to involve parents and other family members where appropriate.

We can offer appointments between 9am and 6pm on late opening nights. Most meetings are one hour and occur regularly.

All the therapists who work at the Ashwood Practice are registered with the relevant professional bodies. This type of therapy is normally carried out by a Clinical Psychologist. For details, click here.
