Psychological Therapy
Our psychological therapy services employ evidence-based approaches to address a wide range of mental health concerns. We specialise in cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and trauma-informed care. Our clinicians work collaboratively with clients to develop personalised treatment plans that address anxiety, depression, trauma, and other psychological difficulties. Each session focuses on building coping strategies and promoting emotional wellbeing through a compassionate, client-centred approach.
Eating Disorder Treatment
We provide comprehensive treatment for eating disorders using a multidisciplinary approach that integrates psychological therapy and dietetic support. Our team specialises in treating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and other specified feeding or eating disorders. Treatment focuses on developing healthy relationships with food while addressing underlying psychological factors. We work closely with GPs and other healthcare professionals to ensure holistic care and sustainable recovery outcomes.
ADHD Assessments
Our ADHD assessment service includes comprehensive clinical interviews and standardised psychometric measures to support accurate diagnosis. We conduct detailed developmental history assessments and provide teacher observations when appropriate. The assessment process includes detailed report writing and feedback sessions to explain findings and recommend appropriate interventions. Our approach considers differential diagnoses to ensure accurate identification of neurodevelopmental differences.

Our services address anxiety, depression, social skills difficulties, and neurodevelopmental differences. We work closely with families and schools to implement effective intervention strategies. Treatment incorporates play therapy and age-appropriate cognitive behavioural techniques within an attachment-based framework to support healthy child development.
