My Family Psychologist’s ethos is to provide a highly responsive, evidence-based, and bespoke service to improve your family and child’s well being.
In the last three years, the likelihood of young people having a mental health problem has increased by 50%, (The Children’s Society, 2022).
95% of GPs say that Child and Young People’s Mental Health Services (CYPS) are either in crisis or very inadequate, (Supporting Teenage Mental Health, 2022).
Suicide rates for 15-19 year olds are the highest they have been in 30 years. There is an urgent for government support as the teenage suicide rate had jumped by over a third, (Disability Rights, 2022).

Experienced, Empathic, and Evidence-Based Psychological Care.
With your child or teenager in my care, you can rest assured that my training, professional and personal experience blends to provide a unique, highly individualised and bespoke service.
Psychological therapies have a strong evidence-based and a high level of success especially when aimed at younger people. Young people are continually developing; their brain is still in development and their personality has not fully formed. As such, a highly tailored approach is required, unique to the young person and their specific needs. These approaches are also tailored to the unique culture and society in which we now live, such as social media, technological advancements, and image pressures for example, and the very different experiences to which older generations faced.
With up-to-date processes and a positive approach to therapy, especially child therapy and psychology we have built great relationships with many patients and supported, not just them but their families for many years.
We create environments of mutual trust and confidentiality. Rest assured that we will treat your child or teenager with respect, care and thoughtfulness throughout each of their sessions with us.
