About us

We are therapists (clinical psychologists) specialising in offering psychological assessment and treatment to children, & adolescents experiencing anxiety difficulties.

We are aware that finding a therapist privately can be a daunting prospect. There are so many different qualifications and treatment approaches to understand before making the right decision for your child or family. Our aim is to try and make this process more straight-forward, transparent and understandable so that you can make the decisions you need to in the least stressful way.

We simply believe that we can offer you a better experience by focusing on the areas where we have specialist training and experience. This allows us to stay focused and skilled in our chosen area. As such, we solely work with young people with OCD and anxiety difficulties. We also work with parents of younger children where anxiety or, behavioural difficulties are present.

We are passionate about offering evidenced-based targeted treatment and work predominately using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). This is because research supports CBT as an effective treatment for OCD and anxiety difficulties, but also, this is the type of therapy we have specialist training in. This doesn’t mean CBT is right for everyone and we would discuss the appropriateness of this way of working with you. In addition, to this, we will also draw on therapies related to CBT as and when needed.

CBT is a focused, practical and generally shorter-term therapy which involves, among other things, looking at the thoughts, feelings and behaviours you experience or do at times of feeling anxious or distressed. We will explore what works for you, and what doesn’t, and find a way forward with you to improve your day to day life.
