  • Expert Multidisciplinary Team Our team consists of highly experienced clinicians from a range of disciplines, including child psychology, psychiatry, educational psychology, speech and language therapy, and occupational therapy. This breadth of expertise allows us to address diverse needs and challenges effectively.

  • Focus on Holistic Well-being We understand the impact of mental health on academic performance and overall well-being, and our goal is to help children thrive both in and out of the classroom. We support a wide range of mental health difficulties and barriers to learning including anxiety, emotion regulation difficulties, school avoidance, ADHD, Autism and eating disorders.

  • Collaborative Approach  We believe in working closely with parents, teachers, and school staff to create an integrated support system for your child. This collaboration ensures that interventions are tailored to each child’s unique needs and circumstances.

  • Convenient and Accessible  We see parents and children at our warm and welcoming clinics in Wimbledon Village - our purpose built Therapy Centre on Ridgway Mews or at our Psychiatry & Prescribing clinic on Church Road in Wimbledon. If necessary Clinicians can also travel to your child's school, making it easy for students to access the support they need without disrupting their daily routine.
