- DDP Practice- with professionals and caregivers throughout social care and care giving networks
- DDP Parenting
- DDP Psychotherapy
- Adoption Therapeutic Support
- ADHD Assessment
- DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy)
- Anxiety related issues
- Low mood and self-esteem/confidence concerns
- Bereavement and loss

- Other emotional and behavioural concerns
Psychological Therapies can be offered by a highly qualified Child Psychologist to explore concerns and make sense of feelings but also work together to think about the best way to support your child/teenager and family. Parents are always invited to be part of the support for their child and sometimes only parent consultation is required.
