When a child is struggling, whether with focus, behaviour, emotional regulation, or social communication, parents often feel unsure where to turn. Early understanding and specialist treatment can make a transformative difference.

Our child & adolescent psychiatrist provides doctor-led assessments for ADHD, Autism (ASD), tic disorders, anxiety, and mood difficulties.

How we treat and support children:
✔ Comprehensive psychiatric assessment
✔ Clear diagnostic reports for schools & EHCP processes
✔ Medication options for ADHD, when suitable
✔ Child-focused therapy (CBT, anxiety treatment, trauma therapy)
✔ Behavioural and parent guidance
✔ School liaison to support educational needs
✔ 100% online, UK-wide access

Every child deserves clarity and the right treatment plan—not years of waiting and guessing.

If you’re concerned about your child’s behaviour or development, we’re here to help.
