Children and young people make progress at different rates and have different ways in which they learn best. Our psychologists are specifically trained to help those children or young people who are experiencing a range of difficulties that can impact negatively on young people’s lives.

Many of these difficulties are referred to as developmental disorders and include dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, attention difficulties (ADD/ADHD), social communication difficulties, autistic spectrum disorders.

Often parents and teachers refer a young person because of their evident difficulties that affect their learning, their ability to demonstrate their true ability (in tests/examinations), their participation in school, college or university activities, their confidence, their social interactions, their future choices (for employment), their lives in general.

For many young people, timely assessment by a psychologist which leads to appropriate support/intervention can be ‘life-changing’.
