Improving the Mental Health of Children and Young People
In light of the spread of coronavirus COVID-19, we are conforming to government guidelines regarding social distancing and isolation.
We are still accepting referrals. We aim to conduct assessments and planned follow up consultations via video or telephone call wherever possible. If you already have a booked appointment, we will be in touch to establish the best way to do this. We will keep you informed of any changes.
We are linked but independent clinicians working closely to improve the mental health of children and young people. We have been brought together by our commitment to offer a comprehensive and high standard of clinical assessment and intervention. We have shared core principles within our practice.
We have all worked for many years within the public sector and are from a range of professional backgrounds including psychiatry, educational psychology, speech and language therapy and psychotherapy.
We work primarily in Norfolk and Suffolk but will consider referrals from further afield. We assess patients at various locations, reflecting the rurality of the two counties and aim to meet with families as close as possible to where they live. Some travel may be necessary for families to access specific types of assessment or therapy.
We work with :
Children and young people referred experience a wide range of problems and conditions. They may be finding it difficult to cope with different aspects of their life. Some have experienced adverse life events such as loss or illness within their families, parental separation, or abuse. There can be underlying concerns about early attachment relationships. Some children have attention/ concentration or socio-communication difficulties indicative of possible developmental disorder.
Many professionals have a role in assessing, supporting, educating and protecting children and young people. Among others, these include; teachers, social workers, residential care workers, support workers, health visitors and nursery nurses. We work with these professionals through teaching, training and consultation, to increase understanding and awareness of the impact of mental health and developmental difficulties on young people and their behaviour with a view to supporting them more effectively.
We work with children, young people, families and professionals, offering prompt and accessible assessment, intervention and training.
