Problems that arise during infancy and early childhood may be indicative of underlying conditions or emerging pathologies. Challenges or delays in developmental milestones are of note, as well as any difficulties associated with feeding, sleeping, toileting, attachments, trauma, intellectual and neuro difficulties, and general behavioural or conduct problems.

Assessment and intervention at this stage is primarily conducted via observation and with the caregiver given this early stage in development. Typical problems encountered during the assessment process include social and communication difficulties, educational attainment challenges, and attachment and separation anxieties for example.

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based therapy which can help to reduce distress and improve your ability to function. The way Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can be accessed has changed a lot; people can access CBT online and over the telephone as well as face to face contact with a therapist.

How does CBT work?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works by breaking down the issue into smaller parts. This is a useful technique as it allows the therapist to work with you to identify how the issue affects you emotionally, psychologically, physically and what behavioural responses you have towards that issue. Often people get stuck in a pattern of repeated thinking behaviour which can be unhelpful or often negative.

CBT works by challenging the way you think about certain issues and changing it. CBT encourages you to reframe your thought process and explore alternative ways of thinking which can improve decision making.

FRESH – The Extent (Part 2)

Much like the last blog, this blog series is not about creating panic. It’s about raising awareness of what is going on with teens.

The average parent today is raising their child in a world very different from the one in which they grew up. Almost every child now has access to social media, influencer culture and even online po*******hy. Unfortunately, research has found that the latter is how the majority of young people are learning about relationships and consent, often long before adults in their immediate environment are aware it’s happening. Even more worryingly is the increase in schools reporting harassment from male to female students, as well as a rise in misogyny and sexist attitudes and peer-on-peer abuse.

So, what exactly is going on? And what are the current measures that are in place aiming to prevent this worrying trend?

Firstly, before we talk about the stats, we are not trying to scare you.

As parents, you know that the world is full of risks for your teenage kids. More so if they are online 24/7, which seems to be a baseline for kids who love TikTok.

When you hear the words ‘sexual violence’, you may think of children being sexually abused by adults. Yes, this does happen, but sexual violence is rising worldwide, with more than half of sexual offences against children now being committed by other children aged 10-17, according to the NSPCC in 2025.

This is a mainstream issue that is happening in chat rooms, classrooms and bedrooms. Here, we want to introduce this to you, so you can be aware of the reality that is hitting closer to home every day.

Are you game? Why are computer and mobile games so addictive?

I remember the first mobile game that I started playing. Back in the days of Nokia 3410 mobiles, one of the best things about that phone (apart from the fact that it was unbreakable), was the game SNAKE. Hours were spent playing that game because, let’s face it, back then, phones were nothing like they are today and that was the most exciting feature of the phone!
