Our clinical psychologist, who works within the Specialist Children’s Services, will help children up to the age of five, and their families, if problems affect how they feel, think and behave.
The clinical psychologist will:
- Talk to the child and/or parent about their difficulties
- Think about why the problems have occurred
- Think about how these problems are affecting everyone in the family
- Think together about how to manage feelings
- Explore possible ways to deal with the difficulties
- Work with other members of Specialist Children’s Services
- Give advice to other people, such as teachers
- Use special tests, or questionnaires, to help provide more information about the problems
We offer appointments at the Child Development Centre, at school, at local children’s centres or at home.
