Child & Adolescent Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
We are pleased to confirm the introduction of a specialist Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) clinic for children and adolescents aged six years and above. Regular child and adolescent CBT clinics are held at our offices, with some limited home visits. Parents, teachers and other clinicians can make direct referrals by calling 01732 808626 or by emailing info@thinkcbt.com.
Child and Adolescent CBT Services
We provide specialist child and adolescent CBT for anxiety, OCD, trauma, depression, child phobias, Asperger’s and Autism Spectrum Disorder. We also work with avoidance behaviour and school refusal, as well as general emotional and behavioural problems.
Depending on the age of the child, we normally encourage the full involvement of the parent and we are able to undertake home visits for highly anxious children. The length of sessions are 50/60 minutes depending on concentration levels and sessions are normally held on a weekly basis to maintain progress. Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy is a short-term intervention and treatment typically lasts for 8-20 sessions, depending on the severity of the problem.
Child and Adolescent Online Assessments
The following assessments can be used as screening tools for children's psychological problems. The results can be downloaded as a report via email and shared with your GP or another psychological health professional. These assessments can be used by parents or teachers to provide an indication of potential psychological problems,however the assessments cannot be used to provide a definitive diagnosis without a full psychological assessment.
