Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists

We understand that this is a very stressful time for everyone.

We want to support you and work with you to improve the situation.

We make no judgements. We listen to you making absolutely sure we understand what is going on. Remember, you are not alone. This is a safe place. We are here to support and care for you all. We are psychiatrists. This means we are specialists in mental health and have a medical degree which qualifies us to prescribe medication (if appropriate) as well as delivering therapy.

The safety and wellbeing of the people we work with is a priority, so we have strict policies and procedures in place. If there are concerns that a child or teenager has been harmed or is at risk of harm, we will support you in contacting the local safeguarding services in your area.

Our team are professional, friendly and approachable. We are here to answer your concerns. Do get in touch for an initial chat to see how we can help.
